The prayer
A prayer to pray now
Heavenly Father, search me and know my heart. I am asking You to look at the things I try to hide, even from myself. Look anyway. I want to be clean more than I want to be comfortable. Show me one thing today that needs to change, like when I lie about my homework or hide that I am angry. Help me turn that thing around. I am not too scared to be searched because You love me first. Amen.
