"Point out anything in me that offends you and lead me along the path of everlasting life." -Psalms 139:24
Have you ever prayed this to God? Once I did, he began showing me things about myself that made me absolutely detest myself. The gossip? The anger? The envy? The greed? Harsh words? Bitterness? Quarreling? All of these things were oozing out of me, and all of these are offensive to God. It's pretty simple, for me, to tell the difference between right and wrong, yet I still struggle with these things all the time.
Asking God to point them out in you really starts to change you from the inside out. At the end of the day, thinking back on your actions, God convicts you of your evil behaviors.
But we don't have to live in that shame. All we have to do is tell God, "I am sorry," and turn away from those behaviors as best we can. It won't be perfect-we won't ever be without some kind of sin-but if we ask God to help us, he will give us His strength. It will give us a peaceful closeness in God's presence when we call on Him for help. Christ gives us his peace freely. We can rest fully in His gift.
