10Create in me a clean heart, O God, and renew a right, persevering, and steadfast spirit within me.
11Cast me not away from Your presence and take not Your Holy Spirit from me.
12Restore to me the joy of Your salvation and uphold me with a willing spirit.
13Then will I teach transgressors Your ways, and sinners shall be converted and return to You.

Some time back as I was reading these verses from the Psalm God showed me the way He wanted me to be effective in sharing Jesus Christ with all I come across.

10Create in me a clean heart, O God, and renew a right, persevering, and steadfast spirit within me.
Verse 10 first talks about the condition of my heart my spirit and talks about a complete renewal.
Renew means
To make new or as if new again; restore:
To take up again; resume: renew an old friendship;
To repeat so as to reaffirm: renew a promise.
To regain or restore the physical or mental vigor of; revive:
To arrange for the extension of: renew a contract;
To replenish:
To bring into being again; re-establish.
To become new again.
To start over.

Verse 11-12 talks about being in his presence covered by the Holy Spirit knowing more about Him seeking his face continuously and the joy of our salvation becoming more real than anything else in our life being the centre point in our life only by being willing to His calling being sensitive to His voice.
Notice that this is a prayer and is all dependant upon God for Him not to take His presence away.This has to be a willing,repentant and submitting cry.

Verse 13
13Then will I teach transgressors Your ways, and sinners shall be converted and return to You
Then and only when your life is totally turned to God can we lead others to Christ.
Remember the bible says they overcame him by the blood of the lamb and the word of their testimony.
We can do nothing apart from Jesus Christ.We can only bear fruit when we are one with Jesus Christ.
John 15:4-5 (AMP)
4 Dwell in Me, and I will dwell in you. [Live in Me, and I will live in you.] Just as no branch can bear fruit of itself without abiding in (being vitally united to) the vine, neither can you bear fruit unless you abide in Me.
5 I am the Vine; you are the branches. Whoever lives in Me and I in him bears much (abundant) fruit. However, apart from Me [cut off from vital union with Me] you can do nothing.

Sometimes the only bible that a person might ever read could just happen to be your life and your relationship with God.

Psalm 139:23-24 (Amplified Bible)
Amplified Bible (AMP)
23Search me [thoroughly], O God, and know my heart! Try me and know my thoughts!
24And see if there is any wicked or hurtful way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting.
