1 A Clean Heart A Bible Study for Children The purpose of this Bible study is to teach children the how they should be thinking after they confess sin as a child of God. Children can use this for personal devotions in the morning, then parents can use it as a review guide for family devotions in the evening. Day 1 A Clean Heart (Psalm 51:10) Day 2 A Surrendered Heart (Psalm 51:11) Day 3 A Joyful Heart (Psalm 51:12) Day 4 A Strengthened Heart (Psalm 51:12) Day 5 A Servant s Heart (Psalm 51:13)

2 Day 1 A Clean Heart (Psalm 51:10) Read your memory passage out loud one time to one of your parents: Psalm 51: Then read it two more times out loud. 1. What do all these things have in common? 2. How can you clean your heart? After a child of God sins, he needs God to give him a clean heart. That is what King David prayed for after he sinned. This means that he asked God to purify his heart so that it was focused on God and would make the right choices. 3. Why is it important to ask God to help you to make the right choices after you have made a sinful choice? 4. Today, ask God to give you a clean heart, a heart that is focused on making the right choices whenever you are tempted to sin!

3 Day 2 Surrendered Heart (Psalm 51:11) Read your memory passage out loud three times: Psalm 51: King David didn t want God to take his Spirit away from him, but what does this mean? He was a child of God, so he knew that God would not take away his salvation. But do you remember when King Saul disobeyed God? After he did, God said, You cannot be the king of Israel anymore (1 Samuel 15:26). Then the Spirit of God moved to David to make him king of Israel instead. After David sinned, he asked God not to move his Spirit away from him like King Saul. He wanted to get back to serving God as the king of Israel. 1. Color the crown black to take it away from the king who did not confess his sin to God and repent. Color the crown gold of the king who confessed his sin and turned back to God to serve him again. 2. When you admit that you have disobeyed God and you turn back to serve him, will he let you serve him? 3. God hasn t made you the king of Israel. But what does he want you to do today? Ask him to help you serve him today!

4 Day 3 A Joyful Heart (Psalm 51:12) Read your memory passage out loud three times: Psalm 51: Can you explain what the word joy means? 2. Draw faces that show that this boy and girl are have joy in their hearts. 3. When do you have joy in your heart? 4. David says that he has joy when God gives him salvation. If you are a child of God, do you remember when you asked Jesus to save you from your sins? You had joy then. And can you think of any other time when God saved you from something dangerous or scary? Did you have joy after he protected you? 5. When a child of God sins, and then turns back to God, he gets joy back from God. Ask God to give you his joy in your heart today! 4. Pray and thank God for the people in your life that help keep you safe.

5 Day 4 A Strengthened Heart (Psalm 51:12) Read your memory passage out loud two times: Psalm 51: Then say it to someone who can check for mistakes. 1. What are some things that make you scared? 2. What are some things that are too hard for you to do by yourself? 3. Here is a person who is falling over. Can you draw someone or something that can hold them up and that they can lean on so that they won t fall? 4. According to your verse today, who or what is it that can hold you up when you are scared, when you have to do something for God that is too hard for you and when you face a temptation that is too strong to say no to by yourself? 5. Pray and ask God today to hold you up with his Holy Spirit today, when you face things that are scary, hard or temptations to sin!

6 Day 5 A Servant s Heart (Psalm 51:13) Read your memory passage out loud three times: Psalm 51: Then color the trophy when you can say it with no mistakes! 1. After David turned back to God, what did he tell God that he would do? 2. If you were going to teach other people about God, what would you tell them? Write the words or draw some pictures of what you would say. 4. Who can you teach about God? 5. Pray to ask God to help you teach other people about God today and this week!
