Help Me to Change Me

Dear God, I’d like to say that I always come to You with my problems

But it’s too often that I rely on my own strength to pull myself through

And when I do come to You in prayer, I act like I have all the answers

I start out by telling You where a problem is, then I immediately tell You how to fix it

Or I tell You about something I want, and then I get upset if my expectations aren’t met

To be truthful I should be glad that You don’t just grant wishes

I would be in a mess of trouble if you gave me that power

I need to change how I pray

I should be praying in a state of reverence and gratitude to You

I should start by praising You for who You are

I should be giving You thanks for Your never ending love for me

Because without Your love I would have nothing and be nothing

Then I should tell You a need, and ask that You would do what is right in Your eyes

Because You are God of all, and Your plan is perfect

God Help me to change me

Help me to have a change of heart

Help me to change how I see You so that I may see just how powerful You are

Help me to change my motives because the ultimate goal should be to praise You

Help me to change me, so that I may be more like You
