“Pay attention and turn your ear to the sayings of the wise; apply your heart to what I teach, for it is pleasing when you keep them in your heart and have all of them ready on your lips. So that your trust may be in the LORD, I teach you today, even you.” (Proverbs 22: 17-19)
“This is the covenant I will make with the people of Israel after that time,” declares the LORD. “I will put my law in their minds and write it on their hearts. I will be their God, and they will be my people.” (Jeremiah 31:33)
Father, may I remain open to and pay attention to your instruction for me. You teach me this day and you teach me this always. You have written your word upon my heart that I might know you like no other. Your presence and way is known to me. You are my God and I am yours.
Father, may my heart remain receptive and open to your working in my life. I pray that my heart may not become hardened through the ways of the world. It is through you that truth and wisdom is revealed. Your love and faithfulness is revealed through your presence in my life. I am so grateful for your active involvement in my life and your transforming power over my being. I pray that I may trust you with my whole heart; being transformed by your Holy Spirit and not by the ways of the world.
“Therefore, I urge you, brothers and sisters, in view of God’s mercy, to offer your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing to God—this is your true and proper worship. Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will.” (Romans 12:1-2)
