Lord, I know that so often my heart becomes heavy, hardened, and distracted. How many times have I let feelings and desires pull me away from Your presence. Visit the deepest parts of my being and make my heart sensitive to Your voice once again. May I hear Your whisper again and move according to Your Spirit.
I don’t want to live with a heart of stone, unable to receive Your seed. Give me a heart of flesh—soft and willing to be shaped by Your hands. Free me from all resistance to Your will, and teach me to obey even when I don’t understand what You are doing. May my repentance be sincere, and may I never grow comfortable living far from You.
Lord, help me not to be distracted by the voices of this world. May sin find no space in me, and may pride not close my ears to Your correction. Renew in me the first love—the one that moves me to pour myself out and rejoice in the simple things of Your Kingdom. May my love for You never grow cold, and may Your presence be my greatest delight.
Take control of every area of my life. Break down the structures that distance me from You, heal the wounds that made me resist, and breathe new life where there is weariness and unbelief. I don’t want to live by appearances, but in truth and depth in Your Word. May Your fire purify me and restore what is broken.
God, I thank You because Your love is patient and always calls me back. Thank You because even when I harden my heart, You never give up on me. Make me fertile soil—ready to receive Your Word and bear fruit. May my heart be completely Yours—surrendered, sensitive, and full of Your presence, today and always. Amen.
