Psalms 139:23
“Search me, O God, and know my heart;
test me and know my concerns.”
Spiritual growth doesn’t start with an achievement; it starts with an invitation. Too often we spend our prayers asking God to change our circumstances, but David asks the Father to examine his heart.
David doesn’t hide his failures from God. He flings wide the door and invites God to look closely. It is a brave request for the Creator to examine the quiet concerns of a restless heart. When we stop asking God to change our world and start asking Him to change us, we will find the grace we’ve been seeking all along. God waits.

Father, search my heart. Replace my hidden fears with Your perfect peace.
