Lying To Ourselves

Psalm 119: 29-32

Keep me from lying to myself. ... I have chosen to be faithful; I have determined to live by Your regulations. I cling to Your laws. Lord, don't let me be put to shame! I will pursue Your commands, for You expand my understanding.

How deceitful are our own hearts. I know that I have consoled myself with comforts that do not agree with God's Truth. 

O Father, please examine my heart, and point out where I am lying to myself--expose what I am still in denial about! Reveal to me whatever You find there that is inconsistent with Your regulations, laws and commands. 

Teach me Your ways of thinking, speaking and doing, that I may be purified. Shape me and mold me into a vessel fit to serve You--the woman You created me to be. 

Expand my understanding of Your Truth. I take Your hand to lead me in the righteous path You have set my feet upon; open my ears to hear Your voice behind me saying, "This is the path, walk this way." 

And You will receive all the credit, all the glory for what You are doing in my life, in this World and throughout the whole Universe.

Even so, come, Lord Jesus!
