As we prepare our hearts the next few weeks for celebrating the Resurrection of the Jesus Christ from the dead; we will be focusing on repentance and receiving Him anew in our own hearts.
I’ll give you a new heart, put a new spirit in you. I’ll remove the stone heart from your body and replace it with a heart that’s God-willed, not self-willed. I’ll put my Spirit in you and make it possible for you to do what I tell you and live by my commands. Ezekiel 36: 26-27
Lord God, We want to do what is right but we often have cold and stony hearts, full of self will. Please forgive us for our stubbornness. Remove the cold, divided heart of stone that is numb and cannot feel. Transplant a soft, pliable heart in us that can receive Your Word and Your Spirit. Heal our wounded hearts and help us to deal with the emotions that come from being awakened to Your Love. Fill us with Your Holy Spirit so that we can be empowered to obey with joy and trust in Your commands. Thank you for being such an amazing Father, one who offers every gift we need to succeed. We love you. In Jesus’ Strong Name we ask, Amen!
