What's Your Biggest Regret?

and this from a reader:
When I get up each day I say the following and repeat it several times during the day.  It is a quote from Psalm 51
     "Create in me a clean heart, O God and
       renew a right spirit within me.
       Cast me not away from your presence
        and take not your Holy Spirit from me.
        Give me the joy of your saving help again
        and sustain me with your bountiful Spirit." ​

This has been a part of me for over fifty years.
