Ask God Where Change is Needed - Psalm 139

S - Psalm 139:23 Search me, O God, and know my heart;
test me and know my anxious thoughts.
24 Point out anything in me that offends you,
and lead me along the path of everlasting life.
O - The psalmist has just talked about how God is always with him and knows everything about him. Here he is asking God to search him and point out anything that offends Him and then lead him to everlasting life.
A - God is always with me as well and knows everything about me. Instead of me trying to live a life that I may be trying to cover up or excuse away certain things that are maybe questionable to God, I will be like the psalmist and fillet myself open before God and ask Him to search my life for areas that may offend Him. I want to live my life in a way that is pleasing to Him so by honestly asking Him what He thinks and listening to His response I can more easily do just that.
P - God, I praise you this morning! You are amazing and I stand before you knowing that I'm unworthy to be in your presence without your son, Jesus. I ask you today to highlight areas in my life that need adjustments and/or corrections. I want to live a life that pleases you and serves you. Guide me and my thoughts and actions so as to live a live that is free from sin and decay. Help me to be the man, husband, and father that those around me so desperately want, need, and desire. I pray health and blessing over my family and me today.
