Yet Pharaoh’s heart was hardened

Yet Pharaoh’s heart was hardened and he would not listen to them, just as the Lord had said. Then the Lord said to Moses, “Pharaoh’s heart is hard; he refuses to let the people go. - Exodus 10
.
Hardness of heart is a place of isolation apart from our fellow human beings and apart from God. A hard heart is a door closed on everything but ourselves.
From that hardness of heart the plagues of Egypt spring.

I’m sorry for any time I’ve been so occupied with my own position I’ve failed to truly listen to the position of others. .

I pray that the hardness of my own heart is softened and always ready to suffer with those who suffer. .

Praying for a broken, given heart. .
