Prayer
Jesus taught us to come boldly before the Father's throne of grace (Hebrews 4:16).
Father, You are the God who makes all things new. I confess that my heart often grows cold and stubborn toward You and others. I cannot change myself from the inside out, but You can. Thank You for the promise of a new heart through Christ. Replace my heart of stone with a heart that beats for You. In Jesus' name, Amen.
