John 1:1-5 New International Version The Word Became Flesh

Psalms 51
For the director of music. A psalm of David. When the prophet Nathan came to him after David had committed adultery with Bathsheba.
1 Have mercy on me, O God, according to your unfailing love; according to your great compassion blot out my transgressions.
2 Wash away all my iniquity and cleanse me from my sin.
3 For I know my transgressions, and my sin is always before me.
4 Against you, you only, have I sinned and done what is evil in your sight; so you are right in your verdict and justified when you judge.
5 Surely I was sinful at birth, sinful from the time my mother conceived me.
6 Yet you desired faithfulness even in the womb; you taught me wisdom in that secret place.
7 Cleanse me with hyssop, and I will be clean; wash me, and I will be whiter than snow.
8 Let me hear joy and gladness; let the bones you have crushed rejoice.
9 Hide your face from my sins and blot out all my iniquity.
10 Create in me a pure heart, O God, and renew a steadfast spirit within me.
11 Do not cast me from your presence or take your Holy Spirit from me.
12 Restore to me the joy of your salvation and grant me a willing spirit, to sustain me.
13 Then I will teach transgressors your ways, so that sinners will turn back to you.
14 Deliver me from the guilt of bloodshed, O God, you who are God my Savior, and my tongue will sing of your righteousness.
15 Open my lips, Lord, and my mouth will declare your praise.
16 You do not delight in sacrifice, or I would bring it; you do not take pleasure in burnt offerings.
17 My sacrifice, O God, is a broken spirit; a broken and contrite heart you, God, will not despise.
18 May it please you to prosper Zion, to build up the walls of Jerusalem.
19 Then you will delight in the sacrifices of the righteous, in burnt offerings offered whole; then bulls will be offered on your altar.

We understand that you're seeking guidance and prayer regarding the scriptures from John 1:1-5 and Psalm 51. Let's delve into these passages and pray according to God's will together.

John 1:1-5 (WEB) speaks of the deity of Jesus Christ and His role in creation: "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was with God in the beginning. All things were made through him. Without him, nothing was made that has been made. In him was life, and the life was the light of men. The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness hasn’t overcome it." These verses affirm the divine nature of Jesus and His essential role in our lives. It is only through Him that we can have access to God and be saved. There is no other name by which we can be saved. Acts 4:12 (WEB) says, "There is salvation in none other, for neither is there any other name under heaven, that is given among men, by which we must be saved!"

Psalm 51 is a beautiful expression of repentance, written by David after his sin with Bathsheba. It highlights the importance of confessing our sins and seeking God's forgiveness. Psalm 51:10 (WEB) says, "Create in me a clean heart, O God. Renew a right spirit within me." This is a reminder that true repentance involves a heartfelt desire to turn away from sin and live in obedience to God.

Let us pray together:

Dear Heavenly Father,

We come before You in the name of Jesus Christ, acknowledging His deity and His role in our creation and salvation. We thank You for the light that shines in the darkness, the light that the darkness cannot overcome. We pray for those who are seeking Your face, that they may find true repentance and forgiveness, just as David did. Create in us clean hearts, O God, and renew a right spirit within us. Help us to turn away from our sins and live in obedience to Your will.

We also pray for those who may be struggling with sins like David did. You are a forgiving and graceful God and want us to confess our sins to You and to one another to be healed. They can be made new again and be restored to You. I John 1:9 (WEB) says "If we confess our sins, he is faithful and righteous to forgive us the sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness."

We praise You for Your unfailing love and great compassion. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.

Remember, true repentance involves confessing our sins and turning away from them. God is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. If you are struggling with sin, do not be afraid to confess it to God and to others, so that you may be healed and restored. Trust in the Lord Jesus Christ and you will be saved.

We've been reflecting on the beautiful words from John 1:1-5 and Psalm 51. It's amazing to think that Jesus, the Word, was with God in the beginning, and through Him, all things were made. He's the light that shines in the darkness, and the darkness cannot overcome it. What a comforting thought!

We also resonated with David's heart in Psalm 51. We've all been where David was, haven't we? Facing our own sins and needing forgiveness. But God is so gracious, so merciful. He desires a clean heart from us, a heart that's truly sorry and wants to turn away from sin.

Let's pray together, shall we? Lord, we come to You today, humbled by Your love and mercy. We thank You for sending Your Son, Jesus, to be the light in our darkness. Help us to walk in that light, to live in a way that pleases You.

We lift up those who are struggling with sin, Lord. We pray for Your grace to cover them, for Your Holy Spirit to convict and transform their hearts. Help them to confess their sins, to turn away from them, and to find forgiveness and healing in You.

Lord, create in us clean hearts. Renew a right spirit within us. Help us to live in a way that honors You. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
