Seeing this verse today reminded me of my former pastor, now retired. Each Sunday before his sermon, he would say these words. As the congregation prayed with him, we, too, were asking for God to put our hearts in the right place. However, we should not only say this prayer on Sundays in church!
Each and every day, we should ask God for His guidance and to help us go about our work with the right heart, right mind, and right words. We can begin each day with a call to God and then allow Him to fill our hearts, direct our words, and keep us in His frame of mind. We can rely on God as our Rock and Redeemer to help our words and thoughts to guide our actions that align with His will!
Begin each day by asking God to help you have the right heart and mind, and right words and actions!
Prayer:
Dear God-
Thank You for being my Rock and my Redeemer. Please fill my words, actions, heart, and mind with Your love and spirit. In Jesus I pray, amen.
