An Open Heart Begins With An Honest Prayer.

“Search me, O God, and know my heart! Try me and know my thoughts!” — Psalm 139:23 (RSVCI)

In this piece, open hands beneath heavenly light symbolize a willingness to come before God with nothing hidden. The warm light reflects His complete knowledge of us and the trust it takes to welcome His guidance.

Reflection: God already knows our hearts, including the things we struggle to understand about ourselves. This prayer invites Him to reveal our motives, examine our thoughts, and show us where we need to change. Today, take a quiet moment to ask: Lord, what in my heart needs Your attention?

Prayer: Heavenly Father, I open my heart to You. Search my thoughts and intentions, and help me recognize anything that leads me away from Your love. Give me the humility to accept Your correction, the courage to change, and the peace to trust Your guidance. Lead me in Your everlasting way. Amen.
