You’re the One I’ve violated, and you’ve seen it all, seen the full extent of my evil. You have all the facts before you; whatever you decide about me is fair. I’ve been out of step with you for a long time, in the wrong since before I was born. What you’re after is truth from the inside out. Enter me, then; conceive a new, true life. Soak me in your laundry and I’ll come out clean, scrub me and I’ll have a snow-white life. Tune me in to foot-tapping songs, set these once-broken bones to dancing. Don’t look too close for blemishes, give me a clean bill of health. God, make a fresh start in me, shape a Genesis week from the chaos of my life. Don’t throw me out with the trash, or fail to breathe holiness in me. Bring me back from gray exile, put a fresh wind in my sails! Give me a job teaching rebels your ways so the lost can find their way home. Commute my death sentence, God, my salvation God, and I’ll sing anthems to your life-giving ways. Unbutton my lips, dear God; I’ll let loose with your praise.

Regret can feel like a weight that keeps us stuck in the past, but God invites us into something greater—restoration. Using Psalm 51 as a guide, this three-day plan explores the hard but necessary process of renewal. Like refining a masterpiece, true transformation takes time, undoing, and trust. Through confession, surrender, and God’s grace, we are not just forgiven—we are made new. Your story isn’t over. Restoration is already unfolding.
Written around Psalm 51, join us to gain a better understanding of how what we believe about God impacts our view of His forgiveness and the freedom on the other side of it all. The Father's arms are open and ready for forgiveness. Come and join Him. Written by Kenzie McCarter.
