Psalm 18:20-24
GOD made my life complete 
when I placed all the pieces before him. 
When I got my act together, 
he gave me a fresh start. 
Now I’m alert to GOD’s ways; 
I don’t take God for granted. 
Every day I review the ways he works; 
I try not to miss a trick. 
I feel put back together, 
and I’m watching my step. 
God rewrote the text of my life 
when I opened the book of my heart to his eyes. (MSG)

Some people are genuinely terrified of thinking God might look a little too deeply at their lives. King David tells God here that he is an open book. He invited God to read any page, every page if he preferred. He had learned the life lesson of offering our broken places before God. God, and God alone, can put the pieces back together perfectly.

Look at how David describes this:

GOD made my life complete.

He gave me a fresh start.

I feel put back together.

GOD rewrote the text of my life
when I opened the book of my heart to his eyes.

This creates a good prayer to pray:

Our Father, I place before you the broken pieces of my life. I require a fresh start. I cannot get my life together on my own. Awaken my understanding of your will and ways. Forgive me for taking you for granted. I will, from now on, turn to you first, last, and always. Each evening, I will review how you worked in my life that day. You reintegrate my heart, mind, and strength. You are writing a better ending to the book of my life. Amen. 

I will open the book of my life to God as an invitation for his examination and editing. 

Our Father, I place before you the broken pieces of my life. I require a fresh start. I cannot get my life together on my own. Awaken my understanding of your will and ways. Forgive me for taking you for granted. I will, from now on, turn to you first, last, and always. Each evening, I will review how you worked in my life that day. You reintegrate my heart, mind, and strength. You are writing a better ending to the book of my life. Amen.
