As I journey along this road to emotional healing and living an authentic life from an honest heart, I did a little search for Bible verses on whole-heartedness. Here are some of my results.
With my whole heart have I sought you: O let me not wander from your commandments.
Psalm 119:10
O the happiness of those keeping His testimonies, With the whole heart they seek Him.
Psalm 119:2
"No one can serve two masters. Either you will hate the one and love the other, or you will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve both God and money.
Matthew 6:24
He restores my soul. He leads me in paths of righteousness for his name’s sake.
Psalm 23:3
Dear Lord,
You search me and know me, even to my inmost parts. You know where I have lived dishonestly, and where this sin of dishonesty has hurt others and myself. As I tunnel through this process of exposing the lies and coming clean in all areas of my life, lead me on with the light of your grace, the hope of your forgiveness and restoration that keeps me from stumbling, falling back, and even wanting to take my own life for the grief i feel for my sin, the grief I feel for the pain I have caused others. Heal the wounds, O Lord, as I walk this road with You. May we all be Overcomers in the name of Jesus, who overcame death on the cross and reigns victoriously over the grave, over the power of sin, death and the devil. May I be an agent in this healing, that I may not cause unnecessary pain, but where the exposure of truth causes hurt, may Your love rush in and promote healing. Use me as a vessel, somehow, Lord, to encourage others, to use the gifts You have given me to be used in faith, to somehow be a part of this miracle of healing that You are already working on, even when I cannot see it. May I remain steadfast in faith, patient in persevering, joyful in hope, as I know that You have come to bring life and to bring it abundantly. Process, progress, product. No matter how long this takes, Lord. May the peace of Your presence, and the power of Your Spirit as I feel it in worship, keep me planted on Your paths, my eyes fixed on You only, O God.
My spirit is willing yet my flesh is so weak. Help me, O God. I am yours.
in Jesus' Name,
amen.
