prayer.

God answers prayers. I know that He does. But how come it never seems like He answers my prayers? How come it always seems like whenever I pray for something that I want I never get it? Even if it seems like what I want will be glorifying to Him? Maybe it's because of my heart. My heart is so selfish, so stubborn, so bent on only wanting what will benefit me. There are definitely things that I pray for that will further His kingdom. But that's not the main reason I pray for those things; I want those things to further my own kingdom.

God, help me change my heart. I want to be selfless, thinking of glorifying You and only You. May my heart long for what You long for. Break my heart for what breaks Yours. Tug and pull at my heart until it reflects yours. I pray that the things I want are not of this world, but things that will truly further Your kingdom here on earth.

He's changing me, my precious Jesus

I'm not the same person that I used to be

Some times it's slow going

but there's a knowing

That one day perfect I will be
