Dismantling Hardness of Heart

Posted on January 4th, 2012 in Faith by Fred McKinnon

I found myself praying about areas in my life where my heart has grown hard, where my soul seems cold.  This prayer slipped out of my mouth as I was walking the dog down N. Harrington, praying aloud into the quiet morning air.  I resonated with every part of my body and I thought I’d share it with you.

“I want to dismantle the hardness of my heart through steady, slow acts of obedience and devotion”.

Amen.

      Yes, I think I was in between the rubber and the road when it hit me!

    Lord knows I need to live that daily myself. Can’t help but believe that what most people would call “hard” would actually seem soft to me. I’ve been praying, too, however. I believe God is doing and will continue to do a work of healing in my life that will cause my heart to be softened and re-molded to a condition better than it’s ever been before.

    May it be so, God.

      every day – small steps. obedience in each, little leading He gives. And of course, devotion. Even if it’s short, and seems insincere. Just tell Him that and be authentic.
