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

Father in heaven, guide me to guard my heart and to have the discernment not to allow anything to enter it that would take away from it its devotion to you. Through and through, I want to be pure. Please look through me and assist me in getting rid of anything that might divert my devotion from you or undermine my ability to influence others in your favor. In Jesus’s precious name I pray. Amen.
