June 24: He Will Direct Your Heart


“Now may the Lord direct your hearts into the love of God and into the patience of Christ.”
— 2 Thessalonians 3:5 (NKJV)

5 Points:

  1. God’s direction is deeply personal, guiding our hearts.
  2. His love must be our true destination.
  3. Christ’s patience strengthens us through every trial.
  4. Our hearts drift unless God lovingly steers them.
  5. Surrendered hearts stay anchored in hope and love.

 Hearts Directed

You are the compass of my heart.
You set true north to love and grace.
You pull me from the fields of fear.
You call me to the waters of peace.
You direct what I cannot hold alone.

The road bends through sorrow and joy.
The winds shift with every hour.
But you steady the needle of my soul.
You aim me toward the cross.
You teach me the patience of Christ.

I lose my way when I glance aside.
I falter when the storms sing loud.
Still you whisper the way back home.
Still you tug my heart toward life.
Still you anchor me in love.

The patience of Christ covers the day.
The love of God fills the night.
The cross marks the resting place.
The Spirit breathes the courage to stay.
The Father holds my waking dreams.

Today I set my heart again on you.
Today I lean toward your holy ways.
Direct my steps into your love.
Guide my mind into your peace.
Keep my life on the road you bless.

Daily Prayer:
“Father, direct my heart today into Your love and the patience of Christ.”
