About this listen
Scripture: “Create in me a clean heart, O God.” — Psalm 51:10
The popular advice to “follow your heart” sounds freeing, but Scripture paints a wiser picture. God does not call us to follow our hearts; He calls us to surrender them. Left unformed, the heart is easily driven by emotions, impulses, and short-term desires that promise happiness but often leave regret behind.
David understood this deeply. He didn’t ask God to excuse his heart, justify it, or simply heal his feelings. He asked God to create a clean heart. Transformation, not affirmation, was his deepest need.
Reflection: Are you more inclined to follow your heart—or to offer it fully to God for transformation?
Prayer: God, I stop trusting my feelings as my final guide. Shape my heart according to Your will.
