Since the passing of my youngest daughter, Hannah, I've become interested in the human heart. As I was searching for answers to her physical illness the Lord pressed upon me the spiritual illness we all have. See, the Lord showed me during one of my darkest hours, that all of us have a heart condition that we can do nothing about, at least not on our own. We all must come to the real 'physician' (the Lord) for our heart condition to be healed.
Here is a list of NKJV bible verses on the 'heart':

Hope in Hurtful Times by C.S. Lewis
C.S. Lewis wrote this regarding the role of suffering and trials in our life.
"At first I am overwhelmed, and all my little happiness's look like broken toys. Then, slowly and reluctantly, bit by bit, I try to bring myself into the frame of mind that I should be in at all times. I remind myself that all these toys were never intended to possess my heart, that my true good is in another world and my only real treasure is Christ. And perhaps, by God's grace, I succeed, and for a day or two become a creature consciously dependent on God and drawing its strength from the right sources. But the moment the threat is withdrawn, my whole nature leaps back to the toys."
