A Prayer About Sensitivity

A prayer about Sensitivity

When I realize I’ve become dulled to the Holy Spirit’s leading

Father God,

I’m beginning to realize that my spiritual sensitivity has been dulled. I used to be so aware of your leading and your voice, but when I look back at the past days I see that I’ve lost my keen awareness of your presence. What has changed? I know that many things can affect me this way: Sometimes this dullness happens when I’ve given up on fighting evil and instead have given in to sinful desires or compromised my convictions. Sometimes it occurs when I’ve spent too much time away from your truth, or have even actively ignored you. When I lack a fresh awareness of your holiness, I’m not sensitive to the sin in my life. O Lord, I know that if I want spiritual sensitivity, I must have eyes that are open to your Word and ears that are willing to hear it. Please renew my heart today. Forgive my slide into sin and teach me anew to listen carefully to your voice. May I always be sensitive to the leading of your Holy Spirit, and give me the courage to put that leading into action.

Open my eyes to see the wonderful truths in your instructions. Psalm 119:18
