Psalms 139: 23-24 ESV
“Search me, O God, and know my heart! Try me and know my thoughts! And see if there be any grievous way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting!”

Self examination is good but asking God to examine our lives is sure to be revealing. God reveals the motives of our hearts. But if we allow Him to make the necessary corrections, it will bring us to spiritual maturity.
