Repentence
Search me, O God, and know my heart! Try me and know my thoughts! And see if there be any grievous way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting!

- Lord, You know all things. There is nothing that I can hide from You. Because of my flesh, there are sometimes things within me that are not like You, that I overlook.
- I ask that You would search my heart today. Show me anything that is ungodly within me. Show me any habits I have that make you unhappy. Show me any behaviors I have that go against what You’ve called me to.
- If there’s any rebellion to Your Word and leadership within me, remove it.
- If there’s any unforgiveness within me, remove it.
- If there’s any bitterness within me, remove it.
- If there’s any jealousy within me, remove it.
- If there’s any lust within me, remove it.
- If there’s any deception within me, remove it.
- If there’s anything within my spirit that is not like You, Lord, remove it. I don’t want to live a sinful life anymore. Please show me things that I can do better so that I may be a godly example to those around me.
- As I surrender my thoughts and actions to You, please guide me in Your righteousness. I truly take time now to say that I am sorry. I ask that You help me to turn completely away from my sins and walk in Your goodness.
