Only God Can Change You

A Bible and flowers being carried together.

Adapted from Starting Your Day Right

The Lord will sustain, refresh, and strengthen him on his bed of languishing; all his bed You [O Lord] will turn, change, and transform in his illness. I said, Lord, be merciful and gracious to me; heal my inner self, for I have sinned against You.

Don’t obsess over your faults, or you will never enjoy the life that Jesus died to give you. Only God can change you, so talk to Him about your desires. The Word says that those who wait on the Lord will change (See Isaiah 40:31).

Meanwhile, quit taking your flaws so seriously. Don’t let discouragement or depression rob you of your energy and make you angry. If you do, you may take that anger out on other people and miss the blessings God has in store for you today. Enjoy yourself and lighten up! Take the right steps today toward the change you want to make by asking God to help you all day long.

Prayer of the Day: Father God, I come to You in the name of Jesus, and I thank You for my many blessings. I want to enjoy the life Jesus died to give me and not dwell too much on my faults. I surrender my them to You and ask that You change me as I wait on you to move, amen.
