katselemalla ja muistamaan tosi asioissa minun sydämeni ja teoissa, sanoissa, olisi minulle asiaa? To The Lord!
 
We hear your heart’s cry as you seek to examine your life before the Lord. This is a holy and necessary work, one that Scripture itself calls us to: "Examine yourselves, to see whether you are in the faith. Test yourselves. Or don’t you know as to yourselves, that Jesus Christ is in you?, unless indeed you are disqualified" (2 Corinthians 13:5 WEB). The Lord does not desire perfection from you, but a heart that is willing to be searched, refined, and surrendered to Him.

First, we must address a foundational truth: salvation and access to God come only through Jesus Christ. There is no other name by which we may be saved (Acts 4:12). If you have not placed your faith in Him, acknowledging your sin, repenting, and trusting in His death and resurrection for your forgiveness, then this is the first and most critical matter of your heart. Without Christ, our deeds, no matter how good they may seem, cannot justify us before a holy God. "For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, not of works, that no one would boast" (Ephesians 2:8-9 WEB). If you have not yet surrendered your life to Jesus, we urge you to do so now. Confess your sins, believe in Him, and receive the gift of eternal life.

If you are already in Christ, then your question reflects a godly desire for holiness and self-examination. The Lord delights in this! However, we must be cautious not to fall into the trap of self-condemnation or legalism. The enemy often twists our introspection into shame, making us focus on our failures rather than Christ’s finished work. Remember: "There is therefore now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus" (Romans 8:1 WEB). The Lord’s discipline is not meant to crush you but to lead you to repentance and deeper dependence on Him.

Let us prayerfully examine your heart together, asking the Holy Spirit to reveal anything that does not align with God’s Word. Have you spoken words that were unkind, dishonest, or careless? "Let no corrupt speech proceed out of your mouth, but such as is good for building up as the need may be, that it may give grace to those who hear" (Ephesians 4:29 WEB). Have your deeds reflected love for God and neighbor, or have they been self-serving? "Whatever you do, work heartily, as for the Lord, and not for men" (Colossians 3:23 WEB). Have you harbored bitterness, unforgiveness, or pride in your heart? "Let all bitterness, wrath, anger, outcry, and slander be put away from you, with all malice. And be kind to one another, tender hearted, forgiving each other, just as God also in Christ forgave you" (Ephesians 4:31-32 WEB).

If the Holy Spirit convicts you of specific sins, do not despair. Confess them to the Lord, and He is faithful and just to forgive you and cleanse you from all unrighteousness (1 John 1:9). Repentance is not a one-time event but a lifestyle for the believer. It is the pathway to freedom and restoration.

Now, let us pray together:

Heavenly Father, we come before You with humble and contrite hearts, grateful for the blood of Jesus that cleanses us from all sin. Lord, we ask You to search our hearts, as the psalmist prayed: "Search me, God, and know my heart. Try me, and know my thoughts. See if there is any wicked way in me, and lead me in the everlasting way" (Psalm 139:23-24 WEB). Reveal to us any area of our lives that does not align with Your will, whether in our words, deeds, or the hidden motives of our hearts.

Father, if there is unconfessed sin in our lives, we ask for Your forgiveness. We renounce any pride, selfishness, or rebellion that has taken root. Cleanse us, Lord, and restore to us the joy of Your salvation. Help us to walk in the light as You are in the light, so that we may have fellowship with one another and the blood of Jesus, Your Son, cleanses us from all sin (1 John 1:7).

Lord, we also ask for the strength to change. Fill us with Your Holy Spirit, that we may bear the fruit of love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control (Galatians 5:22-23). Teach us to speak words that build up and encourage, to act with integrity and love, and to live in a manner worthy of the calling we have received in Christ.

If we have hurt others with our words or deeds, give us the courage to seek their forgiveness and to make amends where possible. Help us to forgive those who have wronged us, just as You have forgiven us. Guard our hearts from bitterness and resentment, and fill us with Your peace.

Above all, Lord, we desire to live for Your glory. May our lives reflect Your love and truth to a world in need of You. We surrender every area of our lives to You, our thoughts, our words, our actions, and our future. May we decrease so that You may increase in us (John 3:30).

We pray all of this in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, our Savior and Lord, who alone makes us righteous before You. Amen.

Beloved, the Lord is not looking for perfection, but for a heart that is fully His. If you have stumbled, do not stay in the place of shame. Rise up, receive His forgiveness, and walk in the newness of life that Christ has purchased for you. "The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases; His mercies never come to an end; they are new every morning; great is Your faithfulness" (Lamentations 3:22-23 WEB). Keep pressing into Him, and He will complete the good work He has begun in you (Philippians 1:6).
 
We hear the yearning in your words, that honest pause before the Lord, asking what He sees when you bring everything to Him: your heart, your deeds, your words. It’s a brave question, and it’s one many of us quietly share. The very act of stopping to examine these things with Him is already a response to His Spirit drawing you deeper. He isn’t waiting with a list of demands; He meets you in that searching with the same steadfast love He has always had for you.

That kind of reflection can feel exposing, but you don’t have to have it all sorted out before you come. What if you simply gave yourself a few unhurried moments each day this week to sit with that question in His presence, not to analyze every motive exhaustively, but to let Him gently show you one true thing at a time? Sometimes the most fruitful step isn’t a plan but a quiet openness: “Lord, I’m here. Show me what You want me to see.” That alone is enough, because He knows your longing is genuine.

As you continue, remember that your worth before Him was never earned by perfect words or deeds, it was already given through Christ. Your searching doesn’t make Him love you more; your honesty just opens your own heart to receive more of what He has always offered.

We’re praying for you now:

Father, thank You for this one who is standing before You with such a sincere heart. Quiet any fear or confusion, and grant the clarity they seek. Let them feel Your nearness as they open the hidden places to You, and in Your kindness, lead them step by step into the life You’ve prepared. In Jesus’ name, amen.
 
May God in Jesus' name answer your prayer request according to God's perfect love, wisdom, will, timing, grace, and mercy. God is so in love with you. Be Encouraged!

Psalm 37:4: Delight yourself in the Lord, And He shall give you the desires of your heart.
Matthew 6:33: But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you.


🙏Prayer Focus: God, Thank You for loving me. Thank You for loving me, Jesus. God, I ask You in Jesus’ name please bless me with everything that I stand in need of and everything You want me to have. God bless me to prosper, walk in excellent health, and never stop growing in the love, grace, wisdom, and knowledge of Christ Jesus. God bless me to know You in truth, fall in love with You with all my heart, mind, soul, body, and strength and never fall out of love with You. God, bless me to have an ever growing closer stronger, more intimate relationship with You. Bless me with the love, desire, strength, and the spirit of obedience to always delight myself in You, seek first Your kingdom, Your righteousness, and to always respect and obey You. Bless me to know You, so that I can trust You with all my heart, acknowledge You in all my ways, and lean not to my own understanding. Bless me with knowledge, wisdom, and understanding in all You have called me to do.

God heal me in every area of my life. Deliver and cleanse me of everything in my life that doesn't honor You. Transform and renew my mind. Bless me with love, power, and a sound mind. Let the mind that is in Christ Jesus be in me. Bless me to have and operate with a God-conscious-solution-focused-heart-mind-spirit-and-attitude. Bless me to have a God Kingdom Culture Mentality. God be with me as a mighty warrior. Let no weapon formed against me prosper. Protect me from all the plans of my enemies and the plans of the enemy of my soul. God, all that I have asked of You, in this prayer, please do the same for the writer of the prayer, all those who love and care about me, and all those I love and care about. God, please forever honor this prayer over each of our lives. God Thank You. Amen, so be it by faith, and by faith, it is so

Heal Me Lord Jesus Spirit, Soul, And Body

 
The cry of your heart has reached the ear of the Lord, and His searching question comes back to you: is your heart whole with Him, or is it divided between the world and His truth? You speak of watching and remembering, aye, but let it be a watching unto earnest action, and a remembering that cuts to the quick. The heart, the heart, the heart, that is the vital place! Merely to observe your deeds and words is to stand at the threshold; the Spirit would drive the sword of truth through the inner chambers, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit.

Beware of a heart that flatters itself while it is yet faulty. Many speak words, many gaze upon their ways with a superficial eye, but the Lord requireth truth in the inward parts. Have you bought the truth, not merely heard it, not just assented to it with the mind, but bought it at the price of all self-trust and secret idolatry? The truth is a straight line; it makes no crooked concessions to our divided loyalties. If you would have your steps directed aright, you must first confess that it is not in man that walketh to direct his own steps, and cast yourself wholly upon the free grace of Christ.

Let the love of God be shed abroad in your heart by the Holy Ghost, for that is the sweet perfume which no outward reformation can mimic. When that love takes possession, it unites the scattered affections and laughs at impossibilities. But if your heart is divided, the wound is deadly. Better a heart broken to pieces with godly sorrow than a heart cleft in twain between two masters. Cry out with the Pentecostal multitude, “What must I do?” and He who is mighty to save will give you a new heart, a heart of flesh in place of the stony one. Buy the truth now, at any price, and let Christ Himself be your treasure forevermore.
 
You come before the Lord, desiring that your heart, your deeds, your words be held up to the light of truth. This is no small thing. It is the posture of one who has begun to learn that honor shown to God is not a matter of flattering lips but of a life laid open before Him. He has no need of your honor, but you have desperate need of the honor that comes from Him. And that honor is granted when your ways align with His, not in mere speech but in the substance of your days.

Consider how our Lord accredited His words by His deeds. He taught meekness and then displayed it, silent before His accusers. He charged us to love our enemies and then prayed for His own murderers upon the Cross. He commanded us to give our cloak to the one who sues for our coat, and then He gave not only His garments but His very blood. A teacher whose philosophy exists only on the tongue is a hypocrite, a frigid and lifeless thing. So if you truly desire that your heart and deeds and words be examined, you must first resolve that your conduct will preach a sermon louder than any words you speak. Let the truth you profess be written in the ink of your actions.

But this examination must be thorough and pitiless towards self-deceit. Do you find within yourself a readiness to correct others, yet a sluggishness to examine your own soul? Beware. To rebuke a neighbor simply to satisfy a flash of anger is not correction but cruelty. True reproof is born of love and tends to the healing of a wound, as you would care for a diseased limb in your own body. Will you neglect the mortifying sore in a fellow member of Christ's Body while rushing past in indifference? If you would have your own faults brought into the light, then you must not sharpen your tongue to undermine the fame of another. For that habit, whether it makes you puffed up by comparison or eager for more sin through a guilty conscience, is a ruinous thing.

Look, then, to the very root of your thoughts and desires. The Lord did not stop at the act of adultery but pierced through to the lustful gaze of the heart. In the same way, bring not only your outward deeds but the secret movements of your soul into remembrance. Lay them before Him, not with a theatrical agony that pretends at sorrow, but with the same honest self-command our Lord showed in Gethsemane, when He acknowledged the full weight of human frailty and yet yielded entirely to the will of the Father. Do not fear the truth of what you find there, however grievous. It is the sick who need the physician. Only do not flee from the fact of your own illness and then say my words are a burden. It is the deed that lays the burden on your own shoulders.

Stand, therefore, in that light you have requested. Let your heart remember what it means to be truly known by God, and then let your hands and your lips follow where He leads. Do not merely speak of repentance; walk in it. Do not only sigh over your failings; cleave to the mercy of Christ, who in His Passion performed the great deed that destroyed death itself. There is your hope, not in a flawless performance of your own, but in clinging to the One whose life, death, and resurrection become the true pattern and power for your own.
 
Your prayer draws me straight to that deep longing for integrity before the Lord, for your heart, your deeds, and your words to line up with what is true. That desire itself is a sign the Spirit is stirring within you, because left to ourselves we easily drift into just mouthing the right phrases while the heart wanders elsewhere. The Scriptures show us that what fills the heart eventually spills out. If we want our words and actions to be pure, that inner well must be cleansed and guarded.

I think of David’s prayer, “Search me, O God, and know my heart; try me and know my thoughts, and see if there be any wicked way in me.” David knew something we tend to forget: the heart is deceitful. We often do not know our own motives until God, in His mercy, permits some testing that brings them to the surface. That can be uncomfortable, but it is deeply loving. He does not expose what is hidden in order to shame us, but to lead us into repentance and genuine godliness.

So when you feel that nudge to watch and remember what is true in your heart, deeds, and words, receive it as an invitation. Ask the Lord to hold you before His own eyes the way He held Israel in the wilderness, testing them so that what was really inside could be seen and healed. Whatever He shows you, whether impure motives, a divided loyalty toward the world, or areas where your life does not yet match your confession, bring it honestly to Him. He already knows it anyway, and He is not looking for a flawless performance, He is looking for a heart that clings to Him and lets His truth reshape it.

Real truth always points toward godliness. If a thought, habit, or affection does not draw you closer to Christ and make you more like Him, it is not the truth at work. So let your inner examination be guided by that standard. Are there loves that compete with your love for the Father? Are there words you speak that cost nothing but do not flow from a heart genuinely set on Him? The woman Ruth turned her whole life toward the God of Israel, saying, “Your God will be my God.” That kind of full-hearted commitment is what the Lord desires, not a divided heart that keeps one foot in the world while saying, “The Lord lives.”

As you pray, do not be afraid of what might be uncovered. That fear is often the enemy’s way of keeping us from light. Instead, rest in the knowledge that if you are in Christ, His mercy already covers every failing, and His Spirit is already at work to lead you into truth. Walk in that truth, and your deeds will naturally bear fruit that honors Him. Maintain good works, as Paul urged Titus, not as an outward show but as the genuine outflow of a sincere heart.

I am praying with you that your heart would be fully open before the Lord, and that He would grant you clear sight and a deeper love for His truth. Let His word be a lamp to your feet in this very season.
