“Search me, O God, and know my heart: try me, and know my thoughts.”Psalm 139:23
Have you ever sent a text or email and immediately felt, “I shouldn’t have said that”?
Or said something out loud and suddenly felt a tight feeling in your chest or a gentle tug in your heart?
That’s conviction.
It’s not guilt.
It’s not God being angry.
It’s not even your mind playing tricks on you.
It’s the Holy Spirit gently tapping your heart saying,
“That didn’t sound like Me. Let’s fix it.”
You don’t need to be a preacher to feel conviction.
You can be a student correcting a lie, a mum apologising for shouting, a boss realising they were harsh, or even a non-believer noticing, “I think I hurt them.”
Conviction is for anyone with a heart. It’s God whispering:
“There’s a better version of you, come up higher.”

Prayer Declaration
Father,
Search me.
Correct me.
Shape me.
Where my tone was off, realign me.
Where my motives were wrong, purify me.
Where my words wounded, give me grace to restore.
I open the gates of my heart to Your loving correction.
Let me not grow comfortable in what You called misaligned.
In the name of Jesus I
decree and declare:
I am not hardened, I am teachable.
I do not justify disobedience, I surrender it.
I do not defend pride,I dethrone it.
Convict me, transform me, and complete me.
I am becoming more like Christ, daily, deeply, permanently.
In Jesus’ name, Amen.
BeKemified – Pampered. Prepared. Positioned.
