Be Still. Breathe. “Come, Holy Spirit.” Become aware of God’s Spirit with you.
Read the passage slowly.
26 I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit in you; I will remove from you your heart of stone and give you a heart of flesh. 27 And I will put my Spirit in you and move you to follow my decrees and be careful to keep my laws.
What word/phrase stands out? What invitation is the Spirit highlighting?
Place your hand over your heart. Pray slowly: “Holy Spirit, give me a new heart today. Soften what is hard. Make me responsive to You.”
Notice through the day when you feel resistance? Where is your heart tender? Offer both to Him.
