"Search me, God, and know my heart; put me to the test and know my anxious thoughts; and see if there is any hurtful way in me.” Psalm 139:23-24, (NASV)
Search my children, oh God, and know them. Know when they sit and when they rise. Perceive their thoughts and discern when they go out or lie down for You know all their ways. Oh Lord, know what words they will speak even before they utter a sound. In the same way, may Your spirit and presence encircle them about from before and from behind. If they go up to the heavens or make their beds in the deep, lead them by Your right hand. If they settle on the wings of the dawn or on the far side of the seas, be with them. Let them give praise to You for You made their in most being and knit them together in the womb in fearful and wonderful ways. Yet You saw them and composed their days even before they were born. Make precious Your thoughts towards them, oh Lord, infinite in their number and more than the sand. When they wake, I pray You will still be with them. But put the wicked to death, oh God, for they speak against You and blaspheme Your Name. Fill their hearts with passion against Your enemies, I plead, despising those who hate You and rise up against You. Search my children and know their hearts. Test them and know their anxious thoughts to see if there is anything offensively grievous within them. Lead my children in Your everlasting ways, oh God, I pray.
