All a person's ways seem pure to them. But then Lord weighs the motives. - Proverbs 16:2
Dear Heavenly Father,
To know that you weigh my motives changes the way I look at my plans. It makes me think through why I want certain things to happen. It makes me sift through my heart to look for the fruit of selfishness. It makes me plan less rambunctiously. Please send more of your Spirit into my heart so I have godly motives behind any cause I take up for myself or preach to others. And give me discernment to know the difference between right and wrong.
Amen

God shows his patience by dwelling in sinful hearts.
