June 23–Heart for the Lord–Day 23–STEADFAST HEART
\n“My heart is steadfast, O God, my heart is steadfast, I will sing and give praise.”\u00a0 <\/em>Psalm 57:7 NKJV<\/p>\n

Today’s Thought:
\n<\/u>A Steadfast Heart is firm in its belief. It is fixed on the truth of God’s word.
\nIt is constant; it does not let circumstances control it. It is focused, fixed and firm, 100% on God.
\nNo wonder it can sing and give praise at all times!<\/p>\n

Prayer of the Heart to the Lord:
\n<\/u>Dear Lord,
\ntoday I ask that You create in me a Steadfast Heart so I can sing and give You praise at all times! I want a heart that is firmly fixed and focused on You Lord.<\/p>\n

I want a heart that is constant in all circumstances because it is confident in You!
\nThen I will be able to say as David said in Psalm 108:1\u00a0\u00a0 My heart is steadfast, O God; I will sing and make music with all my soul.<\/em><\/p>\n
