10 Things That Happen When You Say, “Change Me, Lord”

1. Change is hard.
2. Change hurts.
3. A restless spirit abounds, and you are no longer comfortable doing and living the old way.
4. When you attempt to live the old way, agitation sets in and you consider, “Neither do men put new wine into old bottles: else the skins burst, and the wine is spilled, and the bottles perish: but they put new wine into fresh bottles, and both are preserved” (Matthew 9:17 ASV).
5. Desires of your heart changes; what you once wanted—relationships and things— no longer seems desirable or appealing.
6. Continually pray; change is hard; change hurts.
7. But God hears you.
8. Two steps forward, one step backwards. Change takes time.
9. Change feels good.
10. You can’t believe you were that person, who did those things, said those words, believed the hype.
