Prayer Thoughts for the Heart


A lesson understood is a lesson remembered.

A lesson remembered is a lesson learned.

A lesson learned is a lesson practiced.

A lesson practiced is a lesson in action.

A lesson in action becomes a habit.

A habit becomes a character trait and will determine your destiny.

What are some of the lessons you are learning and putting into action that are of value to you as a Believer.
We must take time to recognize them or they will never help us to shape and build our characte r with integrity.

We must then store them in our memory bank, which is our heart, soul, and mind, so that we can recall them at a moment’s notice, when needed.

All the things that might, would, or could cause us to sin, can be controlled or slowed down by drawing out of our memory bank, some of the godly wisdom that we have deposited there.

God’s divine love is a bonding agent for putting our lessons learned together as we store them for later use. Adding His love is what will gradually leave no room, in the living of our life, for habitual sinning.

How often does your tongue get you into trouble? Does it take the Lord’s name in vain, or tell a lie, or sow discord? Do you put “bad” words in your conversations or give someone a piece of your mind in anger. Don’t give away a piece of your mind, you need all of it.

Remember the Ten Commandments and then count to ten before you let your tongue rebel against The Lord’s Commands.

Seek and you shall find the right words at the right time out of your memory bank that will always be of value to yourself, other people, and to God.
