My prayer:
I am not proud of my own thoughts tonight God. I don't want to be judgemental. I don't want to be selfish. I don't want to covet things that are not mine. But, I clearly am going to need your help. Help me please God.
Fill me God with your grace and your love. Give me the mind of Christ. Help me to see these situations like you see them and not with my very limited human eyes.
Thank you Jesus.
What God Said Tonight:
To be judgemental, you have to be convinced you are right. To be covetous, you have to be looking at things that don't belong to you. To be selfish, you have to be looking to your own needs before anyone else's.
The solution to each of these is to change what you are focusing on, what you are looking at. You stop being judgemental when stop looking at what others are doing and recognize that you are not always right. You stop coveting when you get your eyes off of things that are not yours and focus on all I have given you. You stop being selfish when you look to the needs of others first.
You have the answers in you. I can remind you, I can help you to do it, but the answers to what you ask tonight are already in you.
You have to choose to change your focus to get there. It is not easy but it is in you to do it. Together, we can do it.
On target! Love these posts. Thank you for sharing these.
