Have you ever asked God to change your situation or to change you so that you can handle the situation? I have prayed this prayer many times. I have learned that God won’t do one or the other, he can and will do both.
God wants us to keep our eyes on Him and not on the problem that may continue to persist in our lives. When we take the attention of our problem and place our attention on Him, He will carry our load. Suddenly, we will realize that we feel less stressed about what has been pressing us. He gives us the grace to endure while we are going through. He gives us a peace in our hearts that all things will work out for our good. I have shared testimonies with others who have said they had no idea that I was going through. That is truly because I have learned to go inward and leave my issues with Him. Once I stopped carrying the load, I was able to walk again and see clearly.
Are you drowning in your situation and desperate for a change? In order for change to come, you have to release it into His hands. You have to look up scriptures in the Bible that are related to your situation and meditate on them. As you begin to pray, ask God to open your eyes so that you can find purpose in your situation. Ask Him to show you what you need to do to change. As you continue to speak over yourself by saying, “Lord change me”, you will see a peace come over you. You will notice that you are no longer carrying the load, but the burden bearer has stepped in and rescued you. What are you waiting for? Go inward and give your burdens over to the Lord.
