Have you ever read a convicting prayer, and been unsure as to whether you can pray it honestly before a God who can search our hearts? I read this in a book called The Valley of Vision which is a collection of Puritan Prayers and Devotions. Here are some excerpts from a prayer entitled "Self-Knowledge."
"It is a good day to me when thou givest me a glimpse of myself;"
"My country, family, church fare worse because of my sins."
"Show me how to know when what is lawful comes from an evil principle."
How convicting to see myself, but how refreshing to know that God sees me through Christ!
