So correct me, Lord, but please be gentle. Jeremiah 10:24

If you dare pray this prayer, pray, pray this prayer:

Search me, O God, and know my heart;

    test me and know my anxious thoughts.

Point out anything in me that offends you,

    and lead me along the path of everlasting life. (Psalm 139:23,24)

Father,

Chide me, but please guide me.

Inspect me, but don’t reject me.

Reproach me, yet coach me.

Scold me, but hold me.

Call me on the carpet, but don’t leave me lying there.

Amen.
