Soften our hearts, Lord

The best soil absorbs water readily so plants can grow healthily. 

Our hearts like rich soil easily absorb water to quench our thirst for the Lord. 

When the Lord speaks, our hearts cry out to respond to His voice.

We live by His word and draw from the river of the Spirit of God to receive nourishment for our souls. 

We cry out for the continual softening of our hearts. Our brokenness and contriteness lead us deeper into the grace of the Lord. 

As God opens our ears to hear Him, opens our eyes to see Him, we also desperately need Him to soften our hearts so that we can feel Him.

We will not be weary and burdened. He will fill us with unspeakable joy and peace that passes understanding. He will make us rest on the greenest and softest pasture. 

He will fill us with His goodness and grace unceasingly. 

The blessings of the Lord are prepared for those who seek Him with all of their heart, soul and mind.
