The house of prayer. The fervent prayer of a
righteous. God, show me the crack. A prayer for
divine warning, conviction, and restoration.
This prayer is for you, if you sense that God
has been trying to get your attention. Maybe
there is something in your life that doesn't
feel right anymore. A boundary has slowly moved.
An attitude has changed. A habit is becoming
stronger. A relationship is becoming unhealthy.
Your anger is becoming harder to control. Your
prayer life is becoming weaker. Something you
once resisted, you are beginning to entertain.
Something that once convicted you doesn't seem
to bother you anymore. Or maybe nothing has happened
yet. But deep inside, you know something is changing.
This prayer is not about condemnation. It is
about asking God for the mercy to see the crack
before the collapse. Psalm 139 23 -24 says, not
my spouse, not my friend, not my co -worker,
not the person whose failure everybody is discussing.
Search me, search my heart, search my motives,
search my thoughts, search my desires, search
my relationships, search my habits, search my
conversations, search my private life, search
the places nobody sees, and God, show me the
crack. Show me what I have been ignoring Show
me what I have been excusing Show me what I have
been justifying Show me what I have been hiding
Show me where my boundaries have moved Show me
where bitterness has entered Show me where pride
has taken root Show me where temptation has become
entertainment Show me where frustration is changing
my character Show me where disappointment is
weakening my faith. Show me where exhaustion
is lowering my defenses. And if there is something
I have become comfortable with that your spirit
has been warning me about, make me uncomfortable
again. Restore my sensitivity to your voice.
God, don't allow me to normalize what you are
trying to remove. Don't allow me to defend what
you are trying to correct. Don't allow me to
rename compromise because I don't want to confront
it. Don't allow me to say everybody does it when
your spirit is telling me this does not belong
in you. God catch the little foxes before they
destroy the vineyard. Catch the small compromises.
Catch the secret resentment. Catch the unhealthy
attachment. Catch the careless conversation.
Catch the uncontrolled anger. Catch the hidden
pride. Catch the neglected prayer life. Catch
the boundary that keeps moving. Catch the habit
that keeps growing. Catch it before it grows.
God, when you warn me, help me listen. When you
convict me, help me respond. When you correct
me, give me humility. When you send someone to
speak truth to me Don't let pride make me reject
the messenger because I don't like the message
Give me discernment to recognize when a warning
is actually mercy God protect me from saying
I can handle it. It won't happen to me I know
what I'm doing. I can stop whenever I want. It's
not that serious Protect me from the arrogance
of believing that strength makes me immune to
weakness your word says let him that thinketh
he standeth take heed lest he fall so God keep
me watchful keep me humble keep me accountable
keep me prayerful keep me close to your word
keep me sensitive to the Holy Spirit and when
I am tired teach me to rest before exhaustion
becomes vulnerability when I am discouraged teach
me to seek you before disappointment becomes
bitterness. When I am angry, teach me to become
quiet before anger becomes destruction. When
I am lonely, protect me from seeking comfort
in places that can compromise my purpose. When
I am hurt, protect me from making permanent decisions
from temporary pain. When I feel misunderstood,
Keep me from relationships and conversations
that offer comfort while quietly pulling me away
from you God restore the boundaries. I have moved
if I need to walk away Give me courage If I need
to stop the conversation Give me discipline If
I need to delete something Give me strength If
I need to confess something Give me humility
if I need accountability Give me courage to ask
for help. If I need to apologize, break my pride.
If I need to forgive, heal my heart. If I need
to return, show me the way home. God, don't let
me wait for catastrophe before I obey your warning.
I don't wanna wait until everybody sees the collapse
before I acknowledge the crack you have already
shown me. Protect my marriage, protect my family.
Protect my children. Protect my relationships.
Protect my ministry. Protect my career. Protect
my calling. Protect my testimony. Protect what
you have entrusted into my hands. But God, don't
only protect these things from people around
me. Protect them from anything within me that
could destroy them. Protect me from my own pride.
uncontrolled desires protect me from careless
words protect me from bitterness protect me from
secret compromise protect me from spiritual arrogance
protect me from becoming a danger to the very
things i am asking you to bless and god if you
reveal something in me today i will not run from
the light i will not defend the crack I will
not cover what you want to heal. I will not silence
conviction. I will not waste the warning. I choose
repentance. I choose obedience. I choose accountability.
I choose discipline. I choose truth. I choose
restoration. And I declare, the crack will not
become my collapse. By your grace, I will listen
while there is still time. I will respond while
there is still time. I will repair what can be
repaired while there is still time. I will restore
the boundary while there is still time. I will
seek help while there is still time. I will return
to you while there is still time. God, let my
testimony not be. I wish I had listened. Let
my testimony become, God showed me the crack
and I listened. Thank you for conviction. Thank
you for warning. Thank you for correction. Thank
you for people who tell me the truth. Thank you
for interruptions that protect my future. Thank
you for loving me enough to confront what could
eventually destroy me. And if the repair is uncomfortable,
give me strength to endure it. Because I would
rather experience the discomfort of correction
than the the devastation of collapse. Search
me God, know my heart, try me, know my thoughts.
And if there is anything in me that does not
belong in the person you are calling me to become,
refine it, remove it, heal it, correct it, restore
it, because I understand you are not revealing
the crack to humiliate me. You are revealing
it because you love me. being discarded. I am
not being abandoned. I am being refined. And
by your grace, I will not waste the warning in
the name of Jesus Christ. Amen. If God is showing
you something through this prayer, don't run
from his conviction. Bring it into the light.
Pray about it. Seek accountability where necessary.
Restore the boundary. Make the correction because
sometimes God's mercy is not rebuilding everything
after the collapse Sometimes his mercy is showing
you the crack before the collapse ever happens
