“For to us God revealed them through the Spirit; for the Spirit
searches all things, even the depths of God. 
For who among men knows the thoughts of a man except the spirit of the
man which is in him?  Even so the
thoughts of God no one knows except the Spirit of God.”  (1 Corinthians 2:10-11)

What are the depths of your
being?  Do you allow the depths to be
searched?  The depths of God are beyond
any mortal, yet it is the Spirit of God which searches the depths of man’s
heart.  Come willingly into the
relationship the Lord offers, have the Spirit search your heart and follow as
the Spirit leads you where you need to go. 
The Lord, who is love, will lead you always.

Lord, I resist going to places where I do not want to go and yet
wherever I go, You are there.  Soften my
heart so that I willingly go to the places where You know I need to go.  What You find that needs to be dealt with or
removed, take care of.  Let me be a
willing follower that wherever You lead I will go.  Guide me in Your goodness to see through my
resistance to come to the place of willing submission to Your will.

Thank You, Holy Spirit, for
loving me enough to see that only with You and by Your leading can the issues
that are in my heart be dealt with.  You
know me better than I know myself, for You know what You will make of me.  Help me to willingly follow wherever You
guide me that I may now and always abide in Your presence and walk in the ways in
which You lead.  Amen.
