# You Can Change Us – Opening Our Hearts to God
*2015-12-02*

> Bill Young leads a short Lenten reflection using the Advent prayer “Open Our Hearts to God,” focusing on John 10:27 and a prayer for transformation.

## Scripture Reading

John 10:27 – “My sheep hear my voice; I know them, and they follow me.”

## Prayer for Transformation

O Jesus, you call us by name. In the depths of our hearts, help us to listen to your voice and welcome you with joy. You can change us, turning our stony hearts into hearts of flesh. Free us from selfishness and make our lives a gift of love.

*God’s voice can transform even the hardest hearts into vessels of love.*
