Awaken My Heart, Lord: A Devotional on Spiritual Sensitivity

Do you ever feel like your heart has grown quiet—or even distant—from God? In the rush of life, it’s easy to become emotionally numb or spiritually disconnected. Today’s devotional is a gentle invitation to awaken your heart and reconnect with the One who gives you life, breath, and purpose.

🌿 Opening Prayer:

Father, awaken my heart to Your presence today. Remove the dullness that keeps me distracted. Soften my spirit, renew my desire, and tune my heart to hear You clearly. Amen.

📖 Scripture:

“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.”
— Ezekiel 36:26 (NIV)

💡 Devotional Thought:

Have you ever felt numb—spiritually, emotionally, or even physically? It can happen subtly: we go through the motions, attend church, say the prayers… but something’s missing.

Ezekiel 36:26 is God’s promise to replace the hard places in our hearts with something living, soft, and responsive. It’s a spiritual awakening. A holy heart transplant.

Today, you’re invited to ask for that renewal. Not out of guilt—but because you were created for a vibrant, Spirit-led connection with the Father. A responsive heart is a tender heart. One that feels, grieves, rejoices, and obeys under the gentle hand of God.
