VERSE:
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

THOUGHT:
Most of us don't like being scrutinized and tested. But God
knows us through and through. He has been with us from our
conception and will work with us through the grave and beyond. So
let's invite him into our interior world to search us, test us, and
even scrutinize our anxious thoughts. He is not there to condemn or
punish, but to cleanse and redeem so that we can be led to his
eternal grace.
PRAYER:
Search me, O God. I know that my heart is not always pure and my
ways are far from perfect. Search me, O God, for I need your
purifying presence. Search me, O God, for I want you to set the
course and the destination of my life. In Jesus' name I pray. Amen.
