Prayer: It Changes Things

To say that pursuing a terminal degree is difficult would be the understatement of the century!

The journey is riddled with a multitude of obstacles: winding roads, deep valleys, steep hills, and (at times) dead ends. 

I found myself at a dead end today and was venting to my mother about how I don't have the strength to continue. 

In her wisdom, she paused and in a barely audible voice she said, 'Pray.' 

It was like someone had hit the light switch.  

You see, she wasn't saying 'Pray' for a change in my circumstance.  She was saying 'Pray' for a change of heart.  'Pray' for the sincerity to accept my situation. 'Pray' for the strength to endure. 

Prayer doesn't always work on the EXTERNAL trial.  Sometimes, it is the INTERNAL that requires change. 

Until Next Time,
