This scriptures have been inspiring me for long. It’s
been a personal prayer of mine for years. This verse
outlines four simple steps to welcome God into our heart every day.
(1) Search
me and know my heart
God is gentle. He is always there
for us. He stands at the door of our hearts and waits to be
invited. Once He enters, He remains patient with us. Waiting for us
to partner with Him. When we ask God to search and know our heart, we are
asking Him to shine His holy light on every part of our heart. This is a
very vulnerable position to be in. We can trust God. As He searches
our heart he is bound to find a few things that need attention. God will
never uncover something to embarrass us, He only uncovers to heal.
(2) What
is stressing me out?
Stress is something that every human being
must learn how to cope with. God is the very best stress reliever I
know. Trying to handle all of the concerns of life on our own often times
just brings more stress! Ignoring it doesn’t make it go away.
Facing it and giving God a chance to help always works! His peace
surpasses our understanding. When we let God touch the anxious areas of
our heart, he replaces it with peace and confidence. It is always amazing
to me how much peace God can give me about situations even when the
circumstances have not changed yet.

Any Offensive Way in Me?
The answer to this question is… YES!
We are all sinners. We all fall short of the glory of God. So, when
God shows up to turn His holy spot light on our hearts, He is going to find
something. You can count on it. But again remember, God never
exposes something to bring shame or embarrassment… only to heal. Sin,
left alone in our heart will only grow to bigger sin. The more sin in our
life, the more chaos and craziness there will be. It’s best to let God
deal with it every day, when it’s small rather than to let grow out of control,
wreck our life and then decide to come to God for help. Dealing with our
sin a little at a time keeps things in balance and keeps us on the path God has
for us.
(4) Lead
me
After we have given God free rein in our
heart, over our anxious minds and over our sin; then we can see more
clearly the direction He has for our life. God has amazing plans for each
one of us. He doesn’t want to keep them a secret. He wants to
partner with us to make them all a reality. God’s plans are never
temporary. God is eternal and everlasting and so are the plans He has for
our life. Tap into the everlasting plans God has for your life today. Start
with the simple little prayer, “Search me O God…”
