Proverbs 4:23 (NLT) advises,
Guard your heart above all else, for it determines the course of your life.
Jesus touches on a similar theme in Matthew 6:21 (NLT),
Wherever your treasure is, there the desires of your heart will also be.
Consider the things we desire, the things we love, the things that bring us enjoyment. Do those things conform with God's will? If not, Solomon and Jesus are telling us to re-focus our hearts. The Bible promises that we can train our hearts to take joy in Godly matters (Luke 11:9, ESV),
Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you.
Focus on those verbs: "ask," "seek," and "knock." Those are things
we must do
actively. Let's ask, seek, and knock today today in our prayers.
