I have discovered through the years that surprising things happen when I pray ‘Lord change me – don’t change my husband, don’t change my children, don’t change the other people around me – change me!
This doesn’t mean that I approve or even condone everything they do, but rather that I concentrate on how I handle my actions and reactions.
More and more the fact comes into focus that they, and not I, are responsible to God for their actions, but I am responsible for the changes that need to be made in me.
