Dare You to Pray This . . .
TODAY’S FOCUS IS: Trusting God to Do a New Work in You
"Create in me a clean heart, O God, and renew a right spirit within me." —Psalm 51:10-11 (ESV)
There’s something powerful—something dangerous even—about a prayer like this. Not because it’s unsafe, but because it’s real. It doesn’t tiptoe around sin or brokenness. It looks at our mess and says: God, I need you to rebuild me from the inside out.
That’s what King David did after the worst failures of his life—adultery, deception, murder. This wasn’t just a casual apology. It was a gut-wrenching plea for transformation. He wasn’t asking for a quick fix or surface-level change. He was asking for a new heart and a renewed spirit.
And you know what? That’s exactly what God wants to give you.
God is still in the business of rebuilding men.
He’s not surprised by your failures. He’s not overwhelmed by your past. And He’s not deterred by how many times you’ve messed up. What He wants is your surrender. Not perfection. Just honesty and a willingness to say:
“God, I trust You more than I trust myself. Do whatever You want in me.”
That’s not a soft prayer—it’s a warrior’s prayer. A man’s prayer. The kind of prayer that changes everything.
So What Do We Do?
1. Get Honest About Your Mess
Don’t minimize it. Don’t rationalize it. Name the areas where your heart’s been hard, cold, distracted, or rebellious. You don’t need to clean yourself up—just come clean.
2. Pray Boldly
Not a passive, quiet, “Lord, help me.”
But a bold, surrendered, David-level cry:
“Create in me a clean heart. Do a new work in me. I trust You more than I trust myself.”
3. Stay Open to the Process
God may start shifting things in your heart, your habits, your relationships, your routine. Let Him. Even when it’s uncomfortable. Especially then. That’s how you know the refining fire is working.
Challenge of the Week
Each morning this week, before your feet hit the floor, pray:
“God, I’m yours. Do a new work in me today. Whatever it is, I’m in.”
And then—live like you meant it.
Let’s Pray
Father, I’m not here with a mask on. I’m not pretending I’ve got it all together. You see every broken piece. So do a new work in me. Rebuild my heart. Renew my spirit. Strip away what’s not of You and replace it with Your truth, Your love, Your strength. Whatever You ask, I’ll follow. I trust You more than I trust myself. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
Brother, if you’re willing to pray that for real, you’re not playing church—you’re walking in power. And that’s where real transformation begins.
