A Prayer for the Holy Spirit to Search Your Heart

Dear Lord, Tonight, I open my heart to You completely. No pretending. No hiding. I know there are corners of my soul that need Your gentle light. Holy Spirit, search me. Show me what I’ve tried to ignore—resentment, fear, pride, unforgiveness. Reveal what needs healing, not to shame me, but to free me. I’m tired of carrying things You never asked me to bear. I invite You to cleanse my motives, purify my thoughts, and renew a right spirit within me. Peel back every layer until what’s left is honest, surrendered, and ready to be shaped by Your hands. Father, if there is anything in me that’s grieving You, bring it to light with mercy. Test me and lead me—don’t let me walk in deception, distraction, or self-dependence. Help me walk in step with You, moment by moment, heart first. Thank You that You don’t search to condemn, but to comfort. You know me fully and still love me endlessly. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
