“Lord, Change Me”
Beloved, the most powerful prayer you can ever pray isn’t for God to change your situation—it’s for Him to change you. When we whisper, “Lord, change me. I want to stop disappointing You,” we open the door for transformation that reaches deeper than behavior; it reaches the heart.
In the Old Testament, David prayed this same prayer after he had fallen short of God’s will. In Psalm 51:10, he said, “Create in me a clean heart, O God, and renew a right spirit within me.” David didn’t ask for comfort, position, or favor—he asked for cleansing. He knew real change doesn’t come from trying harder; it comes from surrendering fully.
And in the New Testament, Paul reminds us in Romans 12:2: “Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind.”Transformation isn’t a one-time event; it’s a daily decision. It’s the willingness to let God strip away what doesn’t reflect Him and rebuild us into the image of His Son.
So Beloved, don’t be discouraged by how far you still feel from where you want to be. Change begins with a willing heart. When you ask God to change you, He doesn’t shame you—He shapes you. Every correction is an act of love, every conviction a step toward becoming who He already sees you to be.
Pray with me:
Father God of transformation, I come before You humbly, asking not for You to change my circumstances, but to change me. Remove anything in my heart that grieves You, and fill me with the strength to walk in obedience. Renew my mind, purify my motives, and help me to reflect Your love in all I do. In Jesus’ name, we pray, believe, receive, and praise. Amen.
