Lord, Test My Heart Search me, God, and know my heart…
““Lord, Test My Heart Search me, God, and know my heart; test me and know my anxious thoughts. PSALM 139:23 Lord, You know me. You know the words in my mouth before I even say them (Psalm 139:4). I come before You raw and exposed, laying myself down before Your throne. Often I try to hide my flaws and failures, foolishly thinking that I can somehow distract You from seeing they’re there. But Jesus, You’ve engraved me on the palms of Your hands (Isaiah 49:16). I am ever before You. Father, I don’t want anything in me that shouldn’t be there. I want to be pure before You. Test my heart and see if there is any offensive way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting (Psalm 139:24). Your Word says You search our hearts and examine our minds and reward us according to what You find (Jeremiah 17:10). Teach me Your way so I will walk in truth, and give me an undivided heart that I may fear Your name (Psalm 86:11). Thank You, Lord, for cleansing me from head to toe. May my heart be blameless in Your sight. In Jesus’ name I pray.””
