Of the Heart


handssun.jpgWe’re told to pray without ceasing (1 Thessalonians 5:17) and what better prayer to offer throughout every day:

“Search me, O God, and know my heart; test me and know my anxious thoughts.  See if there is any offensive way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting.”  ~Psalm 139:23,24

This passage encompasses so much and most of my battles are internal, of the heart.  So I pray that the Lord searches, knows, tests, changes, and leads me.  As hard as it is to confront the anxious thoughts and offensive ways, it’s harder to be trapped in them.  Acknowledging and repenting is an attack on the pride but my desire is truly to be led in His ways because His ways lead to light, life, and freedom.

    Don’t I know it..
    Often, more often I don’t even have repentance, I have to ask God to reveal my sin, then grant me repentance. In my own strength I cannot repent… I am so weak…
    I am such a worm.
