How does a heart become hardened? It’s a gradual process that begins with selective belief—hearing God’s Word but not fully accepting it as true. This leads to trying to manage one’s affairs without the Lord’s guidance. Over time, the person ignores the conscience or justifies unscriptural choices. Eventually, the heart becomes so resistant that the Spirit’s voice can’t be heard.
If you sense your heart growing hard, there’s hope. Confess your unbelief to the Lord, and ask Him to restore receptivity to His will.
