b'\\u201cSearch me, God, and know my heart.\\u201d When my heart doesn\\u2019t know itself.\\nWhen my thoughts and my feelings are so jumbled and confused that I can\\u2019t\\nsee the truth through the fog. Every day, O Father, search me and know my\\nheart.\\n.\\n\\u201cTest me and know my anxious thoughts.\\u201d When previously calm waters are\\nruffled by wind. When storms blow in and threaten to draw my focus from my\\nLord. When I\\u2019m restless and agitated and need Your peace. When I fail to\\ntrust. Every day, O Father, try me and know my anxieties.\\n.\\n\\u201cSee if there is any offensive way in me.\\u201d When I can\\u2019t tell right from\\nwrong. When I feel guilty for wrong although I think I did right. When I\\ncan\\u2019t seek out my own motivation for my actions. When my desire is to do\\nright, but I know that I sin. Every day, O Father, see if there is any\\nwicked way in me.\\n.\\n\\u201cAnd lead me in the way everlasting.\\u201d When my greatest desire is to glorify\\nGod. When I long to trust my Father with all I am, even though I know I\\ncan\\u2019t do it on my own. When my desire is for You, but I fall. Every day, O\\nFather, lead me in the way everlasting. \\u2022 Macy Lee\\n.\\n\\u2022Today\\u2019s devotion is written in the style of a personal prayer, guided by a\\npsalm. Have you ever tried to pray by using a Bible verse or passage as a\\nmodel? Consider taking a moment to read Psalm 139:23-24 slowly, praying\\nyour own words to God in between the Bible\\u2019s phrases. \\n.\\n\\u2022 Do you ever find it difficult to be honest with God about your own\\nfailures and shortcomings? How could it be comforting to know that other\\npeople feel this way too? \\n.\\n\\u2022 Remember that God has already secured our forgiveness through Jesus\\u2019s\\ndeath and resurrection. As we lay all of our thoughts, feelings, and\\nstruggles down at Jesus Christ\\u2019s throne in surrender to Him, we can rest in\\nHis deep love for us.\\n.\\nSearch me, God, and know my heart; test me and know my anxious thoughts.\\nSee if there is any offensive way in me, and lead me in the way\\neverlasting.
