from hardness of heart


ABBA, forgive me for my own hardness of heart.  In an effort to not “feel” hurt or pain, I’ve built a wall around my heart. I don’t believe it was in rebellion or intentionally a rejection of You – but it gets in the way and I am truly sorry and humbly ask that You will help me to tear it down. There is a balance or an appropriate way to protect my heart – but it’s allowing You to be my defender; rather than a wall, to provide a fence to keep out the things that could damage my heart, while allowing those things that will cause me to be more like Jesus to come through . . . and only You know which is which. More of You, Lord and less of me.
