Introspection

INTROSPECTION - A PRAYER

I nfinite Heavenly Father, in the light of Your Word, let me be
N oble-minded, desiring always to see if
T here is any wicked way in me,
R eflecting on my thoughts and deeds every day.
O mniscient God, I commit myself to Your Holy
S pirit, for You know me thoroughly.
P rove me and lead me in the
E verlasting way, that I may not turn out of it.
C onsider my life, and let my
T houghts be stayed on You every moment, as
I want to be more like You.
O LORD, hear my cry today, for
N othing in this world can ever hide me from You.
                                 In the name of Jesus Christ, Amen.

Psalm 139: 23, 24 - Search me, O God, and know my heart: try me, and know my thoughts:
And see if there be any wicked way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting.
