All the ways of a man are clean and innocent in his own eyes [and he may see nothing wrong with his actions],
But the LORD weighs and examines the motives and intents [of the heart and knows the truth].—Proverbs 16:2 (AMP)
All-Knowing LORD,
You alone know the truth about the motives and intents of my heart—so I ask You to show me my heart. And then help me to surrender all of my ways to You—so that You can make my heart Your home.
Don’t allow me to deceive
myself into believing that all my ways are clean and innocent—but help me to
find the truth behind the reasons for what I do, so that I can more perfectly
submit my thoughts, words, plans and actions to Your will for me.
Help me to live every
moment of my life in willing obedience to the instruction of Your Word and
according to the promptings of Your Holy Spirit—so that I can live an emotionally,
mentally, physically and spiritually healthy life of Truth.
Help me never to try to
hide my impurity from You, but openly come before You to confess and repent of
my sin and ask You to change me by Your mercy, forgiveness and grace—fully
aware that You already know every imperfection in me, but love me anyway.
You alone know the truth about the motives and intents of my heart—so I ask You to show me my heart. And then help me to surrender all of my ways to You—so that You can make my heart Your home.
In the name of Jesus,
Amen.
