"Who can discern his errors? Acquit me of hidden faults." -Psalms 19:12 (NASB)
Middle schoolers are very good at avoiding responsibility for their actions. It seems as though nothing is ever their fault. There is always someone else to blame. Whether it is their stage of development, the environment surrounding them, or another reason, they often need to be reminded that they should begin by "looking in the mirror." As we consider our own lives, we should also take time to "look in the mirror!"
It is often easier to identify the errors and faults in others than to identify the errors and faults in ourselves. When we are asking for forgiveness, we need to remember that we have faults that we may not realize. We don't have to know or list all of our sins or faults for God, He already knows them! However, we should ask God to completely forgive and restore us, even those areas of our lives we do not realize or do not want to acknowledge. When we completely turn our lives over to God, we can be assured that He will completely transform us!
Don't be afraid to look in the mirror. God can completely forgive and restore you!
Prayer:
Dear God-
Thank You for Your forgiveness and for restoring me. Help me to always completely turn my life over to You and trust in Your redeeming power. Through Jesus I pray, amen.
