January 1st, 2022

Let’s begin the new year by praying, “Search me, O God and know my heart; test me and know my anxious thoughts. See if there is any offensive way in me.” (Ps. 139:23-24). We will grow into spiritual maturity only as we allow the Holy Spirit to reveal those areas in our lives that need changing; only when we allow Him to conform us to the image of Christ. Take a moment right now and invite the Holy Spirit to search your heart.

“Create in me a pure heart, O God, and renew a steadfast spirit within me.”

— Psalm 51:10 (NIV 1984)

Lord, do Your holy work in us. Make us the people You have called us to be. In Your holy name we pray. Amen.
