When you pray, it is important to notice how you pray. It is very common to attempt to “pray away” our circumstances, or the outside environment that we happen to be in (i.e. our financial situation, our relationship situation)…There is nothing wrong with that prayer at all, but sometimes it is more beneficial to pray to God to change our heart. These are prayers to accept the situation, or a prayer to “step out” where we never have before, or a prayer to be more disciplined. Those “heart change” prayers gives us the strength on the inside to move forward and outlast our circumstances.
Remember–
You can’t control others, you can influence them.
You can control yourself.
And God has control of everything!
