Dear brothers and sisters in our Lord Jesus:
King David made the right move. It's a path I need to follow every day. As I confess my sins He forgives me. A contrite heart opens up His mercy and extravagant love. It's spiritually healing to confess to the Holy Spirit the sins He already knows you've made. He then can create a clean heart.
Here is the beloved Psalm 51 in the amplified version:
A Contrite Sinner’s Prayer for Pardon.
To the Chief Musician. A Psalm of David; when Nathan the prophet came to him after he had sinned with Bathsheba.
51
Have mercy on me, O God, according to Your lovingkindness;
According to the greatness of Your compassion blot out my transgressions.
2
Wash me thoroughly from my wickedness and guilt
And cleanse me from my sin.
3
For I am conscious of my transgressions and I acknowledge them;
My sin is always before me.
4
Against You, You only, have I sinned
And done that which is evil in Your sight,
So that You are justified when You speak [Your sentence]
And faultless in Your judgment.
5
I was brought forth in [a state of] wickedness;
In sin my mother conceived me [and from my beginning I, too, was sinful].
6
Behold, You desire truth in the innermost being,
And in the hidden part [of my heart] You will make me know wisdom.
7
Purify me with hyssop, and I will be clean;
Wash me, and I will be whiter than snow.
8
Make me hear joy and gladness and be satisfied;
Let the bones which You have broken rejoice.
9
Hide Your face from my sins
And blot out all my iniquities.
10
Create in me a clean heart, O God,
And renew a right and steadfast spirit within me.
11
Do not cast me away from Your presence
And do not take Your Holy Spirit from me.
12
Restore to me the joy of Your salvation
And sustain me with a willing spirit.
13
Then I will teach transgressors Your ways,
And sinners shall be converted and return to You.
14
Rescue me from bloodguiltiness, O God, the God of my salvation;
Then my tongue will sing joyfully of Your righteousness and Your justice.
15
O Lord, open my lips,
That my mouth may declare Your praise.
16
For You do not delight in sacrifice, or else I would give it;
You are not pleased with burnt offerings.
17
My [only] sacrifice [acceptable] to God is a broken spirit;
A broken and contrite heart [broken with sorrow for sin, thoroughly penitent], such, O God, You will not despise.
18
By Your favor do good to Zion;
May You rebuild the walls of Jerusalem.
19
Then will You delight in the sacrifices of righteousness,
In burnt offering and whole burnt offering;
Then young bulls will be offered on Your altar.

Dear sisters and brothers in Christ,
Virtually every day more requests for help come to us than we have NDR funds to give. Pastors preaching repentance [ Mark 6:12] are delivering and healing people [ Mark 6:13], bringing thousands into Jesus' Kingdom. The GOOD NEWS is that repentance is ON FIRE in the youth and pastors, especially in Africa. They need funds for physical food and logistics even as they are giving out His Spiritual Food.
Please Partner with us, receive the blessings He will give, and donate as the Lord leads; we are waking up His Bride with His Gift of repentance bringing freedom to MANY Thank you !
