Be wise, my son, and make my heart rejoice.—Prov. 27:11.

 

When faced with tests, Jesus prayed “with strong outcries and tears.” (Heb. 5:7) His fervent prayers flowed from a loyal heart and strengthened his desire to remain obedient. To Jehovah, Jesus’ prayers were like the aroma of sweet-smelling incense. Jesus’ entire life course deeply pleased his Father and vindicated His sovereignty. We can imitate Jesus by doing our best to live a life of integrity and of loyalty to Jehovah’s ways and laws. When faced with tests, we pray fervently for Jehovah’s help because we want to please him. We realize that Jehovah will not accept our prayers if we are involved in conduct that he condemns. However, if we live according to Jehovah’s standards, we can be confident that our heartfelt prayers will be like sweet-smelling incense to Jehovah. And we can be sure that our integrity and loyal obedience please our heavenly Father. w19.11 21-22 ¶7-8

Proverbs 23:15 Isn't it amazing that us little specs of dirt have been given something as important as a heart and with it  can make the grandest personage in the universe to rejoice?     

2Tim 2:22 So flee from youthful desires, but pursue righteousness, faith, love, peace, along with those who call on the Lord out of a clean heart Yes, when Jehovah searches our mind and heart, he doesn't want to wade through any muck and mire. He loves things when they are clean and good and rejects what is yuck!
