A prayer to align your heart with Jesus is another helpful prayer to ensure Jesus is at the center of your heart this Valentine’s Day. Often it can be difficult to keep our hearts aligned with Jesus when it comes to this season. Valentine’s is normally associated with romantic love, which is why it is sometimes hard for us to align our hearts with Jesus during this time of year.
Even though Valentine’s Day is normally associated with romantic love, we can start making it a practice each year to ensure Jesus is at the center of our hearts.
Valentine’s Day is a few months after Christmas. During Christmas, our hearts are normally centered and focused on Christ; however, as the winter months go along, we often see ourselves drifting away from Him. By the time Valentine’s Day comes, we are more concerned about making our spouse happy or planning something special for someone in our life.
Again, there is nothing wrong with this, but to ensure Jesus is at the center of our hearts, we have to be intentional and make sure we are not ignoring Him.
A prayer to align your heart with Jesus could be, “Dear Jesus, please align my heart with yours. The time period surrounding Valentine’s Day is a hard time to focus on you. I find myself more concerned about the romantic side of the holiday rather than focusing on you, the One who truly loves me more than anyone else. Please help me to align my heart with yours and to give you the full attention, praise, and thanks that you always deserve. You are always good to me and you have blessed me in so many ways. I praise you, Lord. Amen.”
