In Psalm 139 its says "search me Oh God and know my heart, test me and know my anxious thoughts, see if there is any offensive way within me and lead in the way of everlasting" ( or something like that) Anyways, that has always been one of my very favorite passages in scripture because the application of the verse has done incredible things for me. To really be vulnerable and honest before God and say "here I am, search through me and show me all the areas where I suck and help me change those things" is a difficult things to do but it yields incredible results. God will do exactly as we ask in those situations. He will show us what we need to work on.
I was thinking about this because this last week my wife and I have been irritable with each other and have been getting into arguments. I driving in my car the other day after an argument and i was thinking and praying and asking God to fix things, all the while just getting more upset with Devyn, thinking she this, she that, and then I prayed this passage. i prayed it over and over, then, all of a sudden, I stopped getting upset with Devyn and like photographs on a cork board, I saw all of these sins that i had been living out recently and I saw myself being a jerk to my pregnant wife who I am supposed to be incredibly helpful and patient with. Then I knew what I needed to do. Gotta Go!....
