“Create in me a pure heart, O God, and renew a steadfast spirit within me.”
Psalm 51:10 (NIV)
Carry it into the day
The rope before your feet touch the floor
“Every morning, before I put my feet on the floor, I picture a rope fixed to God, a safety line. I reach up, take hold of it and tie it around my waist. Then I get up. The whole day is done roped to Him: the drive, the meeting I dread, the conversation I keep putting off. When I feel the pull, I remember I am held on the other end.”
