Take a moment to read this scripture and pray the prayers that emerge. How might you offer your heart to God and pray for those around you as well?
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.
Oh God, may this be true for me today. That you help me see the ways I am hard and unloving towards others. That you would soften me from the inside out. May this be true for us as a community as well. Help us to be tender towards others in our community and world.
