Ive been schooled.....................:0) Why do you do more of the thing that doesn’t work than does?I want you to think of somebody who irritates you — maybe somebody you’ve got a strained relationship with or who just rubs you the wrong way. I have two questions for you: One, do you pray for that person? Or do you just complain and grumble and nag and nitpick? If you prayed more, you’d have a lot less to grumble, complain, nag, and nitpick about. It’s your decision. Does nagging work? No. Does prayer work? Yes. So why do you do more of the thing that doesn’t work than does? Paul says in Philippians 1:4, “Whenever I pray, I make my requests for all of you with joy” (NLT). Paul didn’t just pray for people in his life; he prayed with joy! There are things in other people’s lives that you’d like to change. You don’t want to change yourself; you want them to change. We always want to change other people. But you can’t! You can, however, pray, and let God do his work in other people. Positive praying is more effective than positive thinking. Change your heart and allow god to change others as well. Sent from my iPad
