Psalm 51:1-17 Have mercy on me, O God, according to your unfailing love; according to your great compassion blot out my transgressions.  Wash away all my iniquity and cleanse me from my sin.  For I know my transgressions, and my sin is always before me.  Against you, you only, have I sinned and done what is evil in your sight, so that you are proved right when you speak and justified when you judge.  Surely I was sinful at birth, sinful from the time my mother conceived me.  Surely you desire truth in the inner parts; you teach me wisdom in the inmost place.  Cleanse me with hyssop, and I will be clean; wash me, and I will be whiter than snow.  Let me hear joy and gladness; let the bones you have crushed rejoice.  Hide your face from my sins and blot out all of my iniquity.  Create in me a pure heart, O God, and renew a steadfast spirit within me.  Do not cast me from your presence or take your Holy Spirit from me.  Restore to me the joy of your salvation and grant me a willing spirit, to sustain me.  Then I will teach transgressors your ways, and sinners will turn back to you.  Save me from my bloodguilt, O God, the God who saves me, and my tongue will sing of your righteousness.  O Lord, open my lips, and my mouth will declare your praise.  You do not delight in sacrifice, or I would bring it; you do not take pleasure in burnt offerings.  The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit; a broken and contrite heart, O God, you will not despise.                                                           The heart prayer spoken with words to express to the Lord are humble and submissive showing a poor spirit that is recognizing their need for God.  The only One to give credit for this is God because all who have the Spirit of God are convicted and reminded of their need for God.  The heart prayer is a willful surrender to God.  repetitive words spoken by the pagans dishonor God in their heart.  Praying for the motive of praise by men are like those of the Pharisees, Sadducees, and teachers of the law, which were known hypocrites, who in their heart did not know God, or else they would have known that Jesus is the Messiah who would save them and the others who aren’t the chosen children of God who have faith in the Lord, either before Jesus came here, or when He was here to believe and receive healing for their brokeness.  The Jews who were saved before the New Covenant was fulfilled by God, received the Holy Spirit of God.  However, the Lord did remove the Holy Spirit from those whom did not obey God, like King Saul who was before King David.  The chosen people of God who had faith in God and obeyed Him, the Holy Spirit stayed with them. The New Covenant was foretold by the old prophets which God inspired for them to write.  Matthew 6:5-7 “And when you pray, do not be like the hypocrites, for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and on the street corners to be seen by men.  I tell you the truth, they have received their reward in full.  But when you pray, go into your room, close the door and pray to your Father, who is unseen.  Then, your Father, who sees what is done in secret will reward you.  And when you pray, do not keep on babbling like pagans, for they think they will be heard because of their many words.  The New Covenant of God does not take away the Holy Spirit of God from those who have Him in their hearts.  Those who have the Holy Spirit of God receive Him deeply rooted in their hearts.  Others who momentarily follow Jesus and soon leave the faith, never receive the Holy Spirit because He will not be taken away.  What is taken away is the seed planted because the heart is not ripe to receive Him by either the devil taking it away, being choked from the weeds to die,or it’s not where it can grow at all. Matthew 13:18-23  “Listen then to what the parable of the sower means: When anyone hears the the message about the kingdom and does not understand it, the evil one comes and snatches away what was sown in his heart.  This is the seed sown along the path.  The one who received the seed that fell on rocky places is the man who hears the word and at once receives it with joy.  But since he has no root, he lasts only a short time.  When trouble or persecution comes because of the word, he quickly falls away.  The one who received the seed that fell among the thorns is the man who hears the word, but he worries of this life and the deceitfulness of wealth choke it, making it unfruitful.  But the one who received the seed that fell on good soil is the man who hears the word and understands it.  He produces a crop, yielding a hundred, sixty or thirty times what was sown.”
