What Competes for God's Place in Your Heart? #CalmHeart

Lord, I am determined to keep You in the primary place in my heart. May fear, worry, anxiety, and all the crazy going on around me never take up more space in my heart than You. Will you please help me to recognize anything at all that competes for Your rightful position in my heart? Give me wisdom to resist putting anything in Your place, and fill me with Your light and truth and love and peace. In the wonderful name of Jesus, amen.

“Dear children, keep away from anything that might take God’s place in your hearts." 1 John 5:21
