Proverbs 20:27
The Lord's light penetrates the human spirit, exposing every hidden motive.
O my Father, let Your light penetrate my soul and spirit, expose to me, reveal to me my own hidden motives. I talk myself into thinking that what I'm doing is good and godly, and on the surface it appears to be. But Your light penetrates the inner recesses of my psyche and exposes my hidden motives of pride and self-promotion. And they are ugly.
Forgive me, Father, and cleanse me, clean out those nasty wounds, those detestable parasites wounding my soul. Heal me and anoint me with Your oil of gladness, as Your joy is my strength; and continue to prepare me to be a beautiful bride, fit and suitable and fully prepared to be my Lord's bride.
Even so, come, Lord Jesus!
