Looking to Change

We all have areas in our lives that we need to work on. Whether it’s a temper or our temperament, our shyness or our impatience, we know we need to purge or perfect certain personality traits. The problem comes with our inability to change. Old habits die hard, so trying to change long held behavior patterns gets tiring and discouraging.

There is a solution, however. God can help us. If we submit ourselves to Him, asking Him to transform us and mold us into the person He wants us to be, He will help us. It still can get discouraging because any change in personality is tough; but we can constantly draw on Him for strength, encouragement, and renewal until the transformation becomes complete.

Looking to change something in your life? Ask the Lord for help.
