Praying Against A Hardened Heart

Jer 11:18-20
18 Because the LORD revealed their plot to me, I knew it, for at that time he showed me what they were doing. 19 I had been like a gentle lamb led to the slaughter; I did not realize that they had plotted against me, saying,
"Let us destroy the tree and its fruit;
let us cut him off from the land of the living,
that his name be remembered no more."

20 But, O LORD Almighty, you who judge righteously
and test the heart and mind,
let me see your vengeance upon them,
for to you I have committed my cause.


Sometimes the heart of the people get so hard that they go against the Lord. They want to be cut off from Him, not wanting to do anything with Him.

I know people who are like this, but I pray for them. I pray that they not harden their hearts against the Lord, but for an open heart to have Jesus speak into their lives. I also pray that my own heart not be turned from Him, but that I be protected against the enemy.

Father God, I thank you for all that You have blessed me with. I know that I am a sinner, but I thank you for Your Son, Christ Jesus, for saving me. I receive it, and I pray against my old self, but to continue living a life new in the Lord. I pray this also, for those who have a hard heart against You. I pray that You soften their hearts, I pray that I may be a light into their lives, and that I may pray that they come to know You. I give You all the glory in Jesus name.
Amen.
