Note: As we have walked in this world, we have had dreams and wishes for life, and at times we have been broken-hearted not knowing which way or what we could do.
The heart in the scriptures is regarded as the source of Christian thought and feeling. It is as we bring our mind into subjection to the word of God that heart will be at rest.
The Bible states the following about the heart.

Note: It is the heart that will get an urge to do something and then it is the mind that will make the decisions and it is the heart, mind and body that will pay the price. But if we read the Word of God, with our mind the heart will be renewed everyday and the body will follow. The Word will travel from the head to the heart.
By praying to God he will help us to change our hearts.
For the believer.
Note: It is at the time when we see in our heart an attitude of sin, which dwells in our heart that we should seek God’s forgiveness. Of course it’s your free will, you can choose which way you should go. For it is from the heart that desires are born.

Restore unto me the joy of Thy salvation
And renew a right spirit within me.

The way for an unbeliever to change his or hers heart.
Note: When we were unbelievers we had to see the depth of our sin to come to the place of repentance therefore, unless an unbeliever can see the depth his or her own sin, they will never be able to take the next step. That is to seek God forgiveness and ask Jesus to come into your life and heart.

1John 4: 12 No one has ever seen God; but if we love one another, God lives in us and his love is made complete in us. 13 We know that we live in Him and He in us, because he has given us of his Spirit. 14 And we have seen and testify that the Father has sent his Son to be the Savior of the world. 15 If anyone acknowledges that Jesus is the Son of God, God lives in him and he in God. 16 And so we know and rely on the love God has for us.
