Reason To Sing

more faith, more God, more Jesus in his life. I believe that if
he just surrenders all of himself like I have he will wake up
and see what he has, right in front of him. Doesn’t he look at
my life and all the dramatic changes that have taken place?
Doesn’t he know that these radical changes are because of my
total submission to God? Submission of absolutely everything?
Why is he not getting it? I am so frustrated. Gord says he is a
follower of Christ. We go to church together and he confesses
his faith. Why is he not acting like it?
Please God, please give me patience and continue to lead
and guide me every single day.
I come across a little book called “Lord Change Me” by
Evelyn Christenson. It helps me realize that trying to change
others and the way they treat us is always going to prove difficult,
frustrating and probably impossible. I can only change myself
and only with God’s help. And so I pray some more: Lord,
change me. Help me to find a way to live with the rejection I
feel from my husband, to continue to love him even when that
love is not being reciprocated. Please Lord, I beg you to help
me change and to find the strength to walk this painful road.
And, while you’re at it, please change Gord too!
I know I shouldn’t ask that, but I can’t help it. Like a good
country song, I still think I can change my man. Okay, not
really. I know I cannot change my husband.
But maybe God can?
