Psalm 12:6 says, “The words of the Lord are pure words, like silver tried in a furnace of earth, purified seven times.”

Yesterday I listened to a message on how prayer is to be our priority 

He said, “Prayer is the breath of dependence.”

He talked about the Welch revival. A group of folks were praying. A young deacon read Psalm 24

Then asked the Lord. “Are my hands clean? Are my thoughts pure?”

Our thought life is purified when we bring God’s pure word into our hearts

David wrote Psalm 26. Verse 2 is a prayer of dependence we can use. There is only One who knows the source of our thoughts 

It says, “Examine me, O Lord, and prove me; try my mind and my heart.” 

Prove means to test. Try means to refine. Our trials are designed to expose the hidden dross that will weaken our faith. 1 Peter 1:7
