Tested & True
Scripture
“Prove me, O Lord, and try me; test my heart and my mind. For your steadfast love is before my eyes, and I walk in your faithfulness.” Psalm 26:2-3 ESV
Prayer
Faithful God, unchanging and full of both love and justice, we come before You today with humble hearts. You see us fully—our thoughts, our motives, our burdens—and still You draw us near.
Search us, Lord, and know us. Test our hearts and minds, not to condemn, but to refine and strengthen us. Let Your steadfast love remain always before our eyes, anchoring us in truth and guiding every step we take.
Thank You for the gift of Your Holy Spirit, who intercedes for us when words fail and our hearts are overwhelmed. You see every sorrow, every hurt, every unspoken need—and You care deeply for each one.
Be near to those who are sick and hurting today. Meet them with Your presence, Your comfort, and Your peace.
Teach us to be people who reflect Your heart—marked by love, peace, and reconciliation. In a world that can feel uncertain and unsettled, give us wisdom and discernment. Show us how to speak and act in ways that honor You and further Your kingdom.
Help us to walk in Your faithfulness all our days, with steady trust in who You are.
In Jesus’ mighty name, amen.
