       In regard to loving God with our hearts, that means we have complete control of ourselves so that we are acting in the ways God says are right. Now, of course, this doesn’t mean we will be perfect in our actions, as we will make mistakes from time to time, but it means that our goal and motivation is always trying to please God in self-control. We should not put ourselves in the drivers seat of our lives, but rather let God drive the car. If we are in the drivers seat, we are being selfish and taking control of our day-to-day events. That’s bad because we will undoubtedly lead ourselves in the wrong direction. We have to let God lead us in all our important decisions. When you read the Gospels, you notice that Jesus spent a lot of time in prayer with God. And I think this is something we all should work on. I believe if we spend more time in prayer with God, we will see better God-centered results in our lives. We will have clearer direction of where God wants us to go and what he wants us to be focusing on in our lives.
