“Search me, O God, and know my heart: try me, and know my thoughts: And see if there be any wicked way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting.” – Psalm 139:23-24 KJV

Christian life is not about playing it safe. It’s about living life on the edge. It’s about taking a leap of faith even when there’s no safety net in place. “Search Me O God,” is one of the most daring prayer that we can pray to the LORD. We must be prepared to be examined up to the deepest core and chambers of our heart so that God will expose it to us for any sin or iniquity. We cannot do this if we are self-righteous, self-exalting, and self-glorifying like the pharisees. There is nothing hidden in the eyes of God but we must be humble to ask Him and confess to Him our weaknesses, our guilt, or our shame. God is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and cleanse us from all unrighteousness. Let us be willing to admit and turn from our sins. Repent and be saved.

Search Me O God – The Cathedrals

Search me, O God, and know my heart today,
Try me, O Savior, know my thoughts, I pray;
See if there be some wicked way in me;
Cleanse me from every sin, and set me free.(Search me, O God, and know my heart today,
Try me, O Savior, know my thoughts, I pray;
Listen; See if there be some wicked way in me;
Cleanse me from every sin, and set me free.)Lord, take my life, and make it wholly Thine;
Fill my poor heart with Thy great love divine;
Take all my will, my passion, self and pride;
I now surrender, Lord, in me abide.I now surrender, Lord, in me abide. (Abide)
