Jesus invites 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 parts of my heart have grown cold and unresponsive to You and others. I cannot soften my own heart, but You can do what I cannot. Remove this heart of stone and give me a heart of flesh that beats in rhythm with Yours. Help me receive Your transforming love today. In Jesus' name, Amen.
