How to Recognise and Overcome a Hardened Heart

A hardened heart can make you resistant to God’s Word, correction and the needs of others. Pride, repeated disobedience, bitterness and unforgiveness can gradually weaken compassion and spiritual sensitivity. The Bible warns against hardening our hearts and encourages us to remain willing to hear and obey God. Pharaoh, the Israelites in the wilderness and some religious leaders show how stubbornness can lead people away from truth. To guard against hardness, practise genuine repentance, forgive others, accept godly correction and pay attention to people who need help. Ask God to renew your heart and help you remain humble, compassionate and responsive to His guidance. As Ezekiel 36:26 says, God can replace a heart of stone with a heart of flesh.
