God’s Holy Spirit now lives in your heart
To help you choose what is right.
But with frequent temptations to sin,
It’s often not God, but ourselves, we delight!
In the Bible God gives us warnings,
That our heart we should carefully guard.
For it’s easy to make wrong choices,
Causing closeness with God to be marred.
So, when you know in your heart you’ve failed,
Confess to God your particular sin.
He’ll forgive wrong thoughts, words, and deeds—
Then you can sense His nearness again.
Each day of the week, prayer is vital,
And quality time in God’s Word.
Take time to meditate on it,
And don’t let life’s busyness deter!
Seek God’s wisdom and guidance each day;
Rejoice and sing in your heart to the Lord!
Tell others of His work in your life;
Pray that His truth will not be ignored!
Be wary of thinking too much of yourself,
And the things you feel you deserve.
For the Bible gives us instruction
That it’s others we’re to whole-heartedly serve.
Often spend time with God’s people
Who have chosen the Bible as guide.
For together you can worship and grow,
And be encouraged to walk close by God’s side.
And when life’s trials come upon you,
And it seems that God is not near—
Remember His promise never to leave you;
He can give your heart peace to overcome fear.
So daily, with all of your heart
Seek to love God, to trust, to obey,
To serve, to follow, and to quickly return
When your heart has gone astray.
