A Searched Heart

What does it look like for God to search your heart? What does God discover in searching your heart?
Repentance requires an honest assessment of where we are with God. Only God can reveal the true condition of our heart by searching deep within us and honestly revealing our condition to us so that we may have his light and turn to God in our darkness.
The Psalmist writes, “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!” (Psalm 139:23-24, ESV).
When we ask God to search our hearts, he will tenderly reveal what we need to know so that we can come to God and be led by God into his perfect and everlasting way.
May we ask God to search our heart so that we can be made right with him and be led into his perfect way everlasting.
A Prayer The Second Sunday in Lent: “Almighty God, you know that we have no power in ourselves to help ourselves: Keep us both outwardly in our bodies and inwardly in our souls, that we may be defended from all adversities that may happen to the body, and from all evil thoughts that may assault and hurt the soul; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen.” (Book of Common Prayer, 2019).
