Dearest God,

How do you melt a hard heart? How do you break it down allowing it to naturally breathe and flow once again?

Last weekend I witnessed a hard heart, one that is so tough that it is difficult to imagine how it labors to function on a daily basis. I observed its power to keep things the way they are rather than to reach out for living water, spiritual power, and radical redemption. I could hardly watch it so I prayed.

Do your
miracle work,
O God;
reduce bitterness down
to nothing
so love
can enter
from every side.
Pour out
your grace
upon her
so love
can find
its way,
I pray.

Love, Andrea
