‘Search me O God, and know my heart, test me and know my anxious thought. See if there is any offensive way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting’. Psalm 139:23-24 [NIV]
Are you a worrier? Do you easily feel anxious? Why in Psalm 139 would David ask God to search for all the anxieties of his heart?
God knows us better than we know ourselves but He also wants us to know ourselves and what makes us anxious. If we are able to acknowledge our worries then it is the beginning of then being able to let go of them and give them to God.
It is sometimes hard to give God our worries, but all He wants to do is lift the burdens from our shoulders, so that we can experience His love and peace in our hearts. Our problems might not disappear but we can trust that God will look after us and help us through.
Father God, I ask that you would help me to give you all my worries and anxieties. May I really know your love and peace throughout today and may you hold my tender heart in your loving hands. Amen
