SOMETIMES GOD ANSWERS OUR PRAYERS FOR OTHERS BY CHANGING US

Proverbs 21:2 Every man's way is right in his own eyes, but the Lord weighs the heart.

Sometimes we miss our blessings because we're looking for God to change the person we're praying for, but God is actually changing us, and sometimes we can't see. But, because He is faithful, He still delivers us from harm; even though we missed it, He continues to work in our lives. God always starts the change with us because we see others' faults but miss our own.

Lord, forgive us for passing judgment on others instead of praying for them and ourselves. Because we are not valid judges of our own lives, we cannot examine the hearts of others to pass fair judgment. Lord, we pray that You anoint our heads with blessings and make Your face shine upon us, Lord Jesus. Pour out Your Spirit on me, and let us dwell with You in Your house every day of our lives. Bless all our days on this earth, and bless all of our comings and goings. In Your precious name, we pray, Amen.
