My prayer for you is to let God give you a new heart.
Ezekiel 36:26 says,
I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit in you; I will remove from you your heart of stone and give you a heart of flesh.
God spoke these words to Israel during a season of failure and exile. They needed more than improved circumstances, they needed transformation from within.
Look how many times God says, “I will.” He doesn’t simply tell His people to fix their own hearts. He promises to do something in them that they could never fully accomplish for themselves.
Sometimes we ask God to change everything around us, while God is working to change something within us.
A heart can become hardened through disappointment, hurt, resentment, failure, or simply the weariness of life. God can soften what life has hardened.
I believe that you would allow God to continually work within your heart. May He soften the places that have become hardened, heal the places that have been wounded, and renew the places that have grown weary. May you discover that sometimes God’s greatest miracle isn’t changing your circumstances, it’s changing you in the middle of them. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
God’s Grace and Peace cover you today.
