The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked: who can know it? — Jeremiah 17:9

Jesus told us that what’s in our hearts shows up in our public lives in the end. The wise man in Proverbs told us to keep our hearts safe because they are where our life comes from. God knows what’s in our hearts, says Jeremiah. At Heartlight, we want to stress how important what we put in our hearts is, because what we put in our hearts really affects what happens inside them. Invite the Lord into everything you do, think, read, watch, and listen to. Ask him to get rid of lies and help you figure out if what you’re doing is really worth your time and effort.

Prayer

Righteous Father, please help me keep my heart safe and know not to put things in it that would take away its love for you. I want to be perfect in every way. Please search me and help me get rid of anything that would take my devotion away from you or hurt my influence for you with other people. In Jesus’ precious name I pray. Amen.
