livin' on a prayer...

A new series started last week at True North Church and I've been challenged all week long from the thoughts shared last Sunday. We've been challenged to memorize some Scripture verses over the next few weeks about prayer.

This week has been Psalms 139:23-24 ... "Search me O God, and know my heart; test me and know my anxious thoughts. See if there is any offensive way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting."

Is there anyone else out there who is a little restless or uneasy about giving full access to their heart and thoughts? Not an easy thing to do... because I'm certain that in giving such access something will be found that I will not like... but it has been a good week just making myself sit and rest before the Lord and let him look into my heart... listening to Him for His leading... if you haven't done this in a while... stop now and do it!

Some provoking thoughts shared last Sunday:

Secret sin can't coexist with peace. We must allow the Lord full access and full reign for peace to be a reality!

There's no healing that comes from hiding. Maybe there are some things we should all surrender to God... and even let some dear friends know about some things in our lives so that we no longer have to hide them. True healing and freedom comes when there is nothing hidden.

Pray with me... "Search me O God and know my heart..."
