And as He was praying,
the appearance of His face
was altered,
and His clothing became
dazzling white.
Luke 9. 29
(Praying does not just
change a situation or outcome,
but through it,
God changes us.
Our hearts are refitted, reformed,
remodeled to see,
respond differently,
and realigned by God Himself.
God alters us spiritually
and even physically by prayer,
so much so that others
can observe a change in us
--in our responses,
attitudes, and countenance.
Our facial expressions
are attached to our hearts.)
O LORD,
Help us to realize
how You change us
by spending time with You.
Guide us in what to pray,
how to pray,
and for whom.
Change our being.
Align our hearts with Yours.
When we pray,
may others not just see
a difference in us
but that we also see
a difference in us.
