Some roots stay hidden because we have lived with them for so long that they have started to feel normal.
Psalm 19:12-14 gives us an incredibly honest prayer. David recognises that there may be sin in his own heart that he cannot clearly see, and he asks God to bring it into the light.
Sometimes we recognise the repeated reaction, temptation or habit, but we do not yet understand what is feeding it underneath.
That is why preparing the soil requires more than trying harder. We need God to show us what we cannot see for ourselves.
His purpose in exposing a hidden root is not to leave us ashamed. He brings things into the light so that He can cleanse us, change us and lead us into greater obedience.
Save this carousel and return to the reflection during your next quiet time.

Is there a repeated pattern you are asking God to help you understand more deeply?
