"How can we tell if we have an heart like Lot's wife?"


How can we tell if we have an heart like Lot's wife?
Do I love the world more than I love the LORD?
Do I love something in the world more that I love Jesus?
Am I a lover of pleasures more that a lover of God?
What am I looking at now, that will turn my heart to look back, then, like Lot's wife?
I'm afraid, very afraid, that my heart is much darker than I realize.

Jeremiah 17:9 The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked: who can know it?

If my heart is really like this, I need to repent!
I've prayed that Jesus help me to repent.
Then I read last week's repost of  Paul N. F., which cited A. W. Tozer:
"I believe our problem is that we have been trying to substitute praying for obeying, and it simply will not work!"
So am I actually trying to substitute praying for repentance, rather than to just repent?

How can I tell if I have an heart like Lot's wife?
I'm terrified of the possibility.
