Spirit of God, who knows the depths of our souls better than we ourselves, soften our hearts, that we we not succumb to stubbornness and resist the good you desire for us but allow you to work your ways in us and so discover more than we realized was possible, through Jesus Christ the Messiah, who died for our sakes yet now reigns on the throne with the Father in you forever. Amen.
‘But Jesus said to them, “Because of your hardness of heart he wrote this commandment for you.”‘ – Mark 10:5
