• 1:05
  Hello, and welcome to today's episode of divine
• 1:08
  five one five.
• 1:10
  I wanna talk today about how keeping our
• 1:13
  hearts soft before God
• 1:15
  makes all the difference in our daily routine.
• 1:18
  The scripture that I'm gonna be using today
• 1:21
  comes from Ezekiel thirty six twenty six.
• 1:24
  I will give you a new heart and
• 1:26
  put a new spirit in you. I will
• 1:29
  remove
• 1:30
  from you your heart of stone and give
• 1:32
  you a heart of flesh.
• 1:36
  A soft heart that is sensitive to the
• 1:38
  Holy Spirit
• 1:39
  allows us to hear God clearly.
• 1:43
  When life disappoints us, reminding us of our
• 1:46
  failures and faults,
• 1:48
  it's so easy to become guarded and distant.
• 1:52
  But
• 1:53
  prayer keeps our hearts tender,
• 1:55
  humble, and open to God's work
• 1:59
  while keeping our hearts aligned with his.
• 2:02
  When we draw near to him in prayer,
• 2:06
  he in turn meets us with love wisdom,
• 2:09
  giving us peace
• 2:11
  that surpasses
• 2:12
  anything
• 2:13
  that we go through.
• 2:15
  A soft heart allows God to shape us,
• 2:19
  correct us,
• 2:20
  and comforts us.
• 2:23
  Prayer protects us from becoming heartened by what
• 2:26
  we are going through
• 2:28
  despite
• 2:29
  the level of intensity.
• 2:33
  Having a close relationship with God keeps us
• 2:35
  strong,
• 2:36
  grounded,
• 2:37
  and secure
• 2:39
  no matter what life brings.
• 2:43
  Let's pray.
• 2:45
  Father God,
• 2:47
  keep my heart soft before you.
• 2:52
  Let me lay aside
• 2:54
  anything
• 2:55
  that's a distraction.
• 2:58
  Help me to stay open to your voice,
• 3:01
  sensitive to the spirit,
• 3:04
  and trust in all of your ways because
• 3:07
  you always know what's best.
• 3:10
  Remove anything
• 3:12
  that causes me to resist you.
• 3:17
  Today,
• 3:18
  I choose
• 3:20
  to remain sensitive
• 3:21
  to your spirit,
• 3:23
  and I will obey
• 3:25
  your command.
• 3:27
  May you be glorified
• 3:29
  both now and forever.
• 3:31
  Amen.
• 3:37
