“Prayer changes things; the first thing it changes is me.”
10Create in me a clean heart, O God; and renew a right spirit within me.
Psalms 51:10
14If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.
II Chronicles 7:14
Unfortunately we often choose other things over prayer. For example, worry won’t change things, put prayer will! Philippians 4:6-7 in the Message Bible reminds us, “Don’t fret or worry. Instead of worrying, pray. Let petitions and praises shape your worries into prayers, letting God know your concerns. Before you know it, a sense of God’s wholeness, everything coming together for good, will come and settle you down. It’s wonderful what happens when Christ displaces worry at the center of your life.” When you start to practice the things you read in the Word of God you will change and your life will bear fruit of that change!
