🙏🏼 Prayer:
Lord, You see what is hidden in my heart—every thought, every motive, every secret I try to bury. Nothing is concealed from Your holy eyes. Forgive me for the sins I hide out of fear, pride, or shame. Do not allow hidden sin to grow roots within me. Search me, expose what must be exposed, and gently but thoroughly cleanse what must be cleansed. Restore to me the joy of Your presence. Give me humility to confess quickly and courage to walk honestly in the light. Thank You that through Christ, my Valley of Trouble has become a Door of Hope. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
