Furnace of testing
Praise!
My dear beloved Youth in Christ,
'Search me, O God, and know my heart;
test me and know my anxious thoughts.
Point out anything in me that offends you,
and lead me along the path of everlasting life.'
— Psalm 139:23-24 NLT
God uses the trials, troubles, and tribulations of life to reveal the true motives and thoughts of a person so they can be dealt with.
Untested and unrefined people tend to deviate from the true path. It takes courage to pray a prayer like David's prayer, but it is necessary if we want to be everything God wants us to be.
Dear Fathe, give us the grace to stand firm in the ways of purification without stumbling in faith.
In Your Holy Name, Amen.
Lord Jesus loves you!
