Aligning the desires of the heart with God’s will

Desires are matters of the heart. Every prayer is a prayer of desire, and through our words God looks into our hearts. We cannot hide our hearts from God, but are we truthful to ourselves about what guides our choices? “Prone to wander, Lord I feel it...” a hymnist wrote - he felt, he acknowledged that our desires often lead us astray. In repentance we can acknowledge and wrestle our desires into alignment with God’s will - Your will be done.
