An important part of praying is a willingness to be part of the answer.
Got this from Daily Bread..
It's a really good reminder to me that by praying and asking God for help, I must be ready to make changes in my life, and I must be ready to accept that I'm doing wrong, and that I need to change. Alot of times I just ask God for help, but in my heart, I don't really want anything to change. Either because I don't want to change, or I'm comfortable in my "numbnumbville" as pastor daph called it. Instead, I pray out of self-pity, or because I know that I SHOULD pray about it. However, my heart still remains hardened to correction from my Daddy God. I expect things AROUND me to change, but don't realise that what has to change is ME.
Today's devotion was a knock on the head for me. Simple yet straight to the point. I have to expect to make changes in MY life. Not in other people's lives around me.
Just like what Ps David Doery said, when someone asks God to give them patience, God puts someone in their life to annoy them so that their patience grows.
The change needs to happen in ME. not anyone else.
dance those blues away...
