Your question of how God make us change our heart is difficult to answer. Sometimes our opinions and thoughts are set in stone and we need something that gives us a fresh perspective and may lead to a change of heart. But, don't worried, because in Matthew 19:26, Jesus said, "With man this is impossible, but with God all things are possible."
Also, in Matthew 7:6-8, it says "Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you."
So, if we ask God help us I believe He will love to change our heart though we do not know how.
I will pray for you, Hsiao-wen and here is my prayer:
Dear Heavenly Father, we are thankful because you so loved the world that you gave your only son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. You also promised that we may ask you for anything in you name, and you will do it. So, we ask you help Hsiao-wen perceive your love and understand the truth with her heart. Please let your spirit flow into her heart and build up her faith through your Word and prayers. Help Hsiao-wen open her heart to accept Jesus as her Savior and be ready for the kingdom of God. Pray in Jesus' name, Amen.

Thank you very much for your prayer! 我發現你聖經看得好熟噢。
um...其實我對聖經的內容並不是真得很熟，但如果我想要知道相關的經文，就會上這個網站去查，http://www.biblegateway.com/，好像之前Craig也曾推薦過的樣子。如果以後你有要找什麼聖經上的句子，不妨也可上這個網站試試，應該很快就會找到你要的！
這個問題我想了好幾天
我回想剛接觸到基督教時, 我也經歷過理性掙扎和懷疑的過程,
是不是宗教都是不理性的? 是不是都是無法考證的? 是不是只能憑感覺? 那什麼時候才較有感覺和感覺到了? 為什麼基督歷史觀和我們唸過的科學歷史觀那麼不一樣? 但是為什麼科學裡常常還是有人類無法解答的問題? 為什麼科學運算裡有無法解釋的常數存在? 等等
後來美國的朋友推薦我去看C.S.Lewis的書
他是納尼亞傳奇的作者, 是一位牛津大學的文學教授, 也是一位相當注重邏輯思辨和理性思考的學者
會引起我的注意是因為, 他的信仰歷程也是很迂迴, 從傳統基督教轉到無神論, 再轉到研究佛學, 經過無數的考證和邏輯推理, 他最終發現唯有基督信仰是禁得起理性思辨的考驗, 而也因此他從此變成捍衛基督信仰的一位學者
我會推薦大家可以去看他的這本書:"Mere Christianity" 中文翻譯(好像只有簡體版)為:返璞歸真──我為什麼回歸基督教
裡面有好幾的有意思的主題, 例如科學時代還會有神蹟嗎？科學時代的危機是什麼？上帝為何存在？為何這位上帝必然是基督教信仰中的上帝？基督教的倫理是什麼？為何全能全善的上帝所造的人會有墮落？
透過他的邏輯演繹, 我覺得會對這個信仰有更加理性的看法, 也因此, 我不認為基督信仰是全然感性而無法以理性角度去思考的....
另外, 還可以去看林語堂的”信仰之旅”, 相信可以部份解答疑惑~~
對我來說, 從來沒有在禱告中聽到神對我說什麼, 讓我改變心意; 不過我覺得祂想對我說的話就在聖經裡面, 而這些就會慢慢的改變自己。
比如說完全的寬恕某個人, 自己做不到, 但聖經裡看到耶穌如何寬恕, 相對來說自己的就不算什麼。
或是遇到了課業的困難, 藉由教會的弟兄相互分享讀經心得, 鼓勵打氣, 對原來打算放棄的心, 注入了新的希望。
這只是我想到的經驗囉。
嗯，蠻認同smile(維新)的看法，藉著讀聖經，瞭解上帝所說、所為，確實會逐漸改變我們的想法與態度，讓我們學習以上帝的角度來思考所面對的人、事、物。
