Dear Heavenly Father, we come before You as Your servants, asking You to search our hearts. Make us an open book to You, Lord—nothing held back, nothing hidden. What a tragedy it would be to waste a single moment of this life guarding pieces of ourselves from Your transforming love. Help us to trust You fully, to keep You first, to abide in You so that You abide in us. Guard us from straying, and give us courage to welcome Your inspection. Uproot anything in us that doesn’t honor You—any pride, any bitterness, any self-reliance—so it finds no foothold. Cleanse our hands and purify our hearts, Lord, so we can carry Your truth with integrity. And as we preach and serve, fill us with Your peace that surpasses understanding, the kind only You can give. In Jesus’ name, Amen. 😇
