Search me, O God, and know my heart; test me and know my anxious thoughts. Point out anything in me that offends you, and lead me along the path of everlasting life.--- Psalm 139:23-24 NLTDavid asked God to search for sin and point it out, even to the level of testing his thoughts. This is exploratory surgery for sin. How are we to recognize sin unless God points it out? Then, when God shows us, we can repent and be forgiven. Make this verse your prayer. If you ask the Lord to search your heart and your thoughts and to reveal your sin, you will be continuing on “the path of everlasting life.”--- Life Application Study Bible notesPRAYERHeavenly Father,Turn Your light on my inner self.I ask for a pure conscience that is able to convict me when things entangle me and hold me back.
