I think one of the things I pray about the most is a heart transformation. And I can see how that could sound weird to people but it’s so easy for life to go wrong when your heart’s in the wrong place and that’s just something I always struggle with.
Like when everything is going well and God brings lots of blessings into my life, I have a tendency to start prioritizing things other than Him and start crediting myself for any achievements I might have gained.
And it’s crazy. The difference in my life from when I’m actively pursuing a relationship with God versus when I start to lag a bit is so incredibly apparent. Which is why I’m always praying for a heart transformation. Your heart is the drive behind everything you do and feel and I only ever want to do and feel Godly things. Like love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, and self-control.
So, I pray for a heart transformation because I know God is the source of my success and I want to be aware of that 24/7 instead of only realizing His value when life gets hard. And it’s really ironic because with God, life is easy. Everything has a purpose and you’re able to see it. Maybe not right at that exact second but when you look back on your life, you see how He’s worked in it.
I want a heart that always, always, always seeks Him first. One that will never put Him on the back burner. One that loves people like we’ve been called to do. One that is always aware that every blessing is from Him. One that is eager to use the talents He’s given to glorify Him instead of hiding it away or using it for selfish reasons.
I don’t know. I guess what I’m trying to say is, God, I wish my life was less about me and more about You.
