My Heart is Slow to Go to God
“I find that my heart is slow to go to God; and when it does go to Him it does not seem to want to stay with Him; so that very often I am forced in my prayers, first to beg of God that He would take my heart and set it on Himself, and then when it is there, that He would keep it there.”John Bunyan

Bunyan is describing the very thing that I was praying about the night before last. In spite of everything I still don’t just rest there. It’s incredible (and maddening), but true. And so I am left to pray for him to change my heart.
