It’s amazing what can happen when you DECIDE to change your heart. Well, and not only that, you ASK God to help you change your heart and God changes it for you! I’m seeing God at work in so many things lately that I just want to fall on my knees in thankfulness to what God is doing and working in my life with.
The other day I was faced with a situation that was “sticky”. I wasn’t sure how to really handle it, so I just prayed to God that I would not think about it as what was going on with the situation, but do what I was known to do and leave it at that. And when the hour arrived that I was to be in this sticky situation, I was amazed at how my attitude was. I thought to myself, OK, I’ll do this, and I’ll do it because this is what I’m suppose to do and what I’m suppose to do for God. Whatever issue is on the other end of this with it, isn’t FOR ME to figure out or WORRY about it. Instead, I decide that what I was doing was for God and that is all I need to focus on and do. Because for whatever motive is on the other, isn’t my problem or my concern, that is between that and God. Once I made my mind change in that, I was able to do well in it and not have an attitude with it. I asked God to give me the patients in it. Sure enough, it went great…and I know it’s only because God changed my attitude and had me realize how to do that. Praise you Jesus and thank you for showing me that I only need to be concerned about what I’m doing for you and not what others are doing.
Help me to keep focused on that and keep learning how to lean on you and not my own will, but yours. Help me to not get wrapped up into so many situations that I try to figure things out. I don’t need to figure them out. I just need to do what I am suppose to do for you. Keep that in the for front of my daily walk each day.
This stuff is hard what you are showing me God and they are “sticky” situations, but I’m so thankful I am going through them because you are growing me stronger in my walk with you. Through these difficulties
