Good Words for Today: September 6

So many of us look at a difficult situation and pray, “Lord, change my situation.” That’s not usually God’s will.  Much more often the difficult situation has come as a means of making us grow spiritually.  God often brings difficulty into our lives to deepen our total dependence upon him.  When that happens, we ought to pray, “Lord, change me so that I can face this situation.”  That’s a prayer God is pleased to answer.
