Investigate my life, O God, find out everything about me; Cross-examine and test me, get a clear picture of what I'm about; See for yourself whether I've done anything wrong-then guide me on the road to eternal life. (Psalm 139:23-24)

“I don’t want to pray about that!” What if you really don’t want to pray about something? That can be a big “red flag” that we might have a little “attitude” going on.

I can remember when my kids would avoid talking about something with me—like a report card or a visit to a friend’s house. I would eventually force the issue if they continued to be silent, because I knew my kids well. If they were quiet, something was up.
