Psalms 51:10 Create in me a clean heart and renew a right spirit within me. 

Matthew 11:28-30  Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart and ye shall find rest unto your souls, for my yoke is easy and my burden is light.
