Psalms 73:26; 19:14; 27:14;28:7;31:24;
My flesh and my heart fail; But God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever.
Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart Be acceptable in Your sight, O Lord, my strength and my Redeemer.
Wait on the Lord; Be of good courage, And He shall strengthen your heart; Wait, I say, on the Lord!
The Lord is my strength and my shield; My heart trusted in Him, and I am helped; Therefore my heart greatly rejoices, And with my song I will praise Him.
Be of good courage, And He shall strengthen your heart, All you who hope in the Lord.
Jeremiah 17:5
Thus says the Lord: “Cursed is the man who trusts in man And makes flesh his strength, Whose heart departs from the Lord.
Mark 12:33
And to love Him with all the heart, with all the understanding, with all the soul, and with all the strength, and to love one’s neighbor as oneself, is more than all the whole burnt offerings and sacrifices.”
Luke 10:27
So he answered and said, “ ‘You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your strength, and with all your mind,’ and ‘your neighbor as yourself.’ ”

Esther and Mary both broke their alabaster jars as an ultimate sacrifice to follow wholeheartedly their Lord and thought nothing of themselves but put others ahead.
Mary knew because her heart listened and had divine revelation. Costly. Bridal dowry. Esther knew what had happened to the former queen Vashti. She was willing to let go of her position as queen to obey her Uncle Mordecai and her heart for her people. Both had courage! Like Jesus Who laid down His life for others.

Matthew 15: 18 But those things which proceed out of the mouth come from the heart, and they defile a man. 19 For out of the heart proceed evil thoughts, murders, adulteries, fornications, thefts, false witness, blasphemies.
Psalms 81:10
I am the Lord your God, Who brought you out of the land of Egypt; Open your mouth wide, and I will fill it.
Psalms 51:10,
Create in me a clean heart, O God, and renew a right spirit within me.

Holy Spirit monitor us! Watch over our hearts. Cleanse and purify us. Fill our hearts with Your love, righteousness, and wisdom. May our mouths be set to speak Your oracles. Your Word, Your heart! Let us speak for those who are oppressed and have no voice. Change my heart o God. Change my heart Oh God, make it ever true.
Change my heart Oh God, may I be like You.
You are the potter, I am the clay,
Mold me and make me, this is what I pray.
Change my heart Oh God, make it ever true.
Change my heart Oh God, may I be like You.

"The year was 1982. I had been a Christian since 1969, but I saw a lot of things in my life that needed to be discarded. I had slowly become very complacent. I acknowledged my complacency, and I prayed to the Lord, 'The only way that I can follow you is for you to change my appetite, the things that draw me away. You must change my heart!'"
