Spiritual Check-In: How’s Your Heart?

We often ask others how they’re doing — but when was the last time you paused to check in with yourself?

Life moves fast. Responsibilities pile up. And in the midst of pouring into everyone else, we can forget to ask one simple, sacred question: How’s my heart?

This isn’t just about your feelings. It’s about your soul. It’s about noticing what’s beneath the surface — the unspoken weariness, quiet joys, buried griefs, and sacred hopes.

Here’s a gentle invitation to reflect and realign.

🌿 A Guided Heart Check-In

Take a few deep breaths and read slowly. Let these questions open space for you and God to meet.

• What has been weighing on your heart lately?

• Have you felt spiritually connected or distant?

• Is there any unspoken grief, disappointment, or fear you've been carrying silently?

• Where have you noticed God’s presence recently — even in small ways?

• What do you need more of right now — rest, grace, encouragement, direction?

You don’t have to have all the answers. Sometimes, the most powerful thing you can do is simply notice and name what’s there.

💛 Why This Matters

Proverbs 4:23 says, “Above all else, guard your heart, for everything you do flows from it.”

When your heart is overwhelmed, neglected, or numb, it shows up in every part of life — your relationships, your faith, your decisions. But when you check in with your heart regularly, you create space for healing, truth, and connection with God.

This practice isn’t selfish — it’s soul stewardship.

🙏 A Simple Prayer

God, I come to You honestly today. You know what I’m holding, even when I can’t explain it. Help me to be still. Show me what’s happening beneath the surface of my life. Heal what’s hurting, renew what’s dry, and remind me that I’m not alone in any of it. Create in me a clean heart, O God, and renew a steadfast spirit within me. Amen.
