Help Me Change

Joyce Meyer writes in Starting Your Day Right Devotions

Pray: Lord, please help me to change. Show me the root of my problem and how to get over it. I want positive changes in my life.

We keep ourselves from the future plans God has for us, because we are caught up in our bad attitudes and excuses. What are we missing out on? Let’s give up our “right” to anger, bitterness, or whatever. God has a purpose for each of us. What if Billy Graham got stuck on a bad attitude and never became available for what God had planned for him?

For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. (Jeremiah 29:11)

Many are the plans in a man’s heart, but it is the Lord’s purpose that prevails. (Proverbs 19:21)

Until now you have asked nothing in My name. Ask, and you will receive, that your joy may be full. (John 16:24)
