He simply doesn't just harden the hearts of anyone,
Had the LORD hardened your heart you wouldn't be seeking him nor would he be calling you.
You simply wouldn't care either way.
Read the Gospel of John. :oldthumbsup:

Maybe it's good to watch for unrealistic expectations from God. We need to be reasonable and not expect God to magically solve our problems in one moment. As well, He won't simply appear to us because we want Him to. This way we can obtain better tools/charcteristics: patience, humility, peace, moderation, strength, inner freedom, spiritual happiness and continue to mature and gain experience.

no man seeks GOD unless they are DRAWN to him.
he draws all men to himself.
"No one can come to Me unless the Father who sent Me draws him; and I will raise him up at the last day". John 6:44
I’ve read somewhere that my hunger for God is seeded by Him Himself. Everyone on earth is searching for satisfaction, for fulfillment. In other words, they know deep down something is missing.

He's the Meaning to Our Lives, Yes.
Our Reason to Be,
He completes Us.
He still Stands Knocking.

You are right, even if God told someone not to pray for me anymore. That does NOT mean I should give up. Oh no. I’m not giving up. It is never the answer!

In the video He mentions a verse or two I think in Romans 9 basically saying God has mercy on whom he will and hardens whom he wills.
Listen carefully, you are new to this, I am not. What matters to you now is learning the words of Christ nothing else for now. later you can read the first 5 books and the other books of the O.T. that Christ himself used, there is a lot of prophecy involved but you will understand once read. use cross index from biblehub to help you hers is an example;

if you look to the column on the right, you will find context, cross reference, treasury of lecture etc... this is helpful when learning.

Do not waste your time with anything else, Jesus is the ONLY way to eternal life and holds the knowledge you seek. You have to go at the source, the Messiah! Read the first 4 books of the NT, start there.

Youtube is filled with false teachers and false prophets, it waste your time. It will confuse you. Many of these false teachers, preachers do seem legit but beware, until you know the base which is the teaching od Jesus, you wont be able to distinguish if what they say is true or not. be careful and again go to the source, if anyone says different from jesus they are wrong, remember that.

Peace.

On another note. I probably have brokenness that I’m not even aware of. People cover up their brokenness with external stimuli, etc. they don’t take time to examine and be honest with themselves.

From my experience.
All of that "brokenness" is from Lacking the LORD,
that 'stimuli' is an attempt to find purpose and a meaning something only HE can give
At one point I thought I was Forsaken by God.
That was the enemy.

Here’s a quote and it’s not word for word. I like it. If it’s theology, throw it out the window. If it’s another Christian, pay no mind, let them say whatever they want, no giving up, we’re going to be at the door knocking, even beating it until our mental fists are bleeding and still continuing after that.
What do you like to do for a living?
