What's in our hearts

In GPTG (pg 310) it talks about how in worshiping in spirit if our hearts aren’t completely sincere that it’s something that God doesn’t even accept - “..While worship in spirit is more than worshipping sincerely, it is not less than worshipping sincerely. The Lord looks on more than the heart; that is, what we do in worship also matters, but he does look closely at our hearts”

Stephan Charnock says “Without the heart it is no worship; it is a stage play; an acting a part...”

 “Regardless of what we say with our lips or with our bodies in our private worship, God always turns away if our heart is far away.”
In Jeremiah 17:9 is says “The heart is deceitful above all things and beyond cure. Who can understand it?”

How can we even know if our hearts are in the right place if our hearts are beyond cure from being so deceitful?
