A pure heart create for me, O God,
put a steadfast spirit within me.
Do not cast me away from your presence,
nor deprive me of your holy spirit.
Ps.51:10,11
What draws in the Holy Spirit? A pure heart and a steadfast spirit.
The heart we're talking about here is not the muscle in my chest. It's the core of my soul that God is more interested in. A mixed, adulterated heart is impure. A wavering spirit is tossed about and irresolute.
Psalm 51 goes on to say a contrite heart and spirit is not spurned. What draws God in is not just stopping doing wrong. It's knowing I've done wrong and seeking forgiveness.
Lord, my sins you know them. Have mercy Lord on me, I am a sinner.
