Spirit, help us to embrace the spirituality of our hearts and to let go of anything that hinders us from finding true fulfillment and inner peace. May we find spiritual connection through our hearts, and may this connection bring us closer to You and to each other.

Scripture tells you to “guard your heart.” (Proverbs 4:23). In fact, the verse reads, “Above all else, guard your heart, for everything you do flows from it.” (NIV)

Let’s compare that version to the Message: “Keep vigilant watch over your heart; that’s where life starts.”

In other words, exploring the spirituality of your heart doesn’t mean excavating all the emotions or doing thorough research on your emotions. Rather, it is a nod or recognition that our heart is the makeup of our inner self — the core of our being. This is why Matthew recalls Jesus saying, “For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.” (Matthew 6:21, NRSV)
