God wants to do the same thing with you:
Examine me, O God, and know my mind.
Test me, and know my thoughts.
See whether I am on an evil path.
Then lead me on the everlasting path.
Psalm 139:23-24, GOD’S WORD
- God wants to know your intent and motives.
- God wants to understand your worries and concerns.
- God wants to see if you have any tendencies that lead to sin.
- God wants to guide you on the best path for your life.
What is God showing you that needs to be repaired or restored?
