Asking God to search our heart can clear the way for breakthrough

Declare me innocent, O Lord,

   for I have acted with integrity;

I have trusted in the Lord without wavering.

   Put me on trial, Lord, and cross-examine me.

Test my motives and my heart.

For I am always aware of your unfailing love,

   and I have lived according to your truth. Psalm 26:1-3.

There are times we need to look at ourselves to see if we are part of the problem. When we can't see clearly we can ask God to search our heart to highlight any areas that we need to deal with. Sometimes we can be blinded to our own attitudes or ways that are visible to others that could be the source of our problems. There may also be times when God uses others, like sandpaper, to smoothen our rough edges to help us to change where change is needed. Praise God today that He will bring us through whatever we are going through, regardless of fault, as we walk in His ways and keep our eyes on Him.
