Daily Prayer - Help us change

Good Wednesday morning, my friends.
 
Have you ever been in prayer, or listening to someone else pray, and found God gently (or not so gently) pointing to something in your life that needs to change? 
 
We say "Yes, Lord" and "Amen!", but can sometimes harden our hearts a little if that something is not something we want to change. 
 
We need to listen to the "small, still voice" as He speaks to us.  And we need to ask Him to give us the courage and strength to become more like His Son.
 
Amazing Grace and Eternal Peace be yours,
Bruce 
Lord, so often when we're in prayer or praying with others in the Body of Christ we give verbal expression with the affirmation of "Amen" or we simply nod our heads in agreement. 
 
Our outward body language is in agreement but deep within, our hearts look another direction. 
 
When You are dealing with us about destructive habits, sinful attitudes, or unhealthy relationships in our lives help us to not just give a nod of agreement but give us the resolve to change from the inside out. 
 
As Your presence abides in our hearts Your will becomes our own, Your desires become our desires, and Your character becomes our character, for we are made in the image of God.
