The temptation is always there to pray selfishly. To pray for our "bad" circumstances to be changed instead of asking God to change our attitude toward those circumstances. It is hard for our flesh to pray, "Father, please don't change my circumstances until You have accomplished everything that You intended." He allowed those circumstance, no matter how displeasing they are to our flesh, in order to accomplish something wonderful in our lives. How often do we thank Him and praise Him while He leads us through the valley. I happened across your blog while I was searching for something on Google. I haven't had a chance to read everything yet, but the few things I have read have been dead on. May God give you the grace to continue sharing His truths of His love on the Internet. I write about things on my blog that God has put on my heart. I am not as an accomplished writer as you. It has been fun, for the most part. I did have an anonymous atheist poster visit my site several times. The last time He visited my flesh (patience) got a little out of hand, which I apologized for. Take Care, Gary Very good.
