Transformation

Plow up the hard ground of your hearts, for now is the time to seek the Lord, that he may come and shower righteousness upon you. ~ Hosea 10:12 (NLT)

Don’t copy the behavior and customs of this world, but let God transform you into a new person by changing the way you think. Then you will learn to know God’s will for you, which is good and pleasing and perfect. ~ Romans 12:2 (NLT)
Lord Jesus,

THANKS: I'm grateful that you are the farmer who is plowing up the hard soil in our lives. 
REGRET: I'm sorry that I've allowed so much hardness to cover my life -- preventing your kind words of grace and forgiveness from soaking into my heart. 
INTERCESSION: I beg you to transform me into a new person who is truly seeking the Lord. I want to be a fruitful part of your new garden. 
PURPOSE: I'm going to focus on producing your unique fruit. I'm not going to worry about being like everyone else. 
Amen.
