Prayer based on Psalms 73:13. Themes: Innocence, Cleansing, Frustration.

“Lord, I claim the promise that you have given us in Psalm 73:13. I declare that I have not cleansed my heart in vain, and that my hands have been washed in innocence through the blood of Jesus. I trust in your unfailing love and mercy, and I know that you will continue to guide me on the path of righteousness. Thank you for your grace and forgiveness, and for the assurance that I am made clean through your sacrifice. In Jesus’ name, Amen.”

Verse: Surely I have cleansed my heart in vain, and washed my hands in innocence,
Psalms 73:13

This is a Promise.

The verse is expressing a feeling of frustration or disappointment that despite the speaker’s efforts to live a righteous life, they feel like it has been in vain. There is no explicit command or promise given to the reader.
