Change My Heart

Change my heart, O God....
     when Maleah has awakened for the third time in the middle of the night.

Change my heart, O God....
     when Stephen yells, "no!" after I ask him to do something.

Change my heart, O God....
     when Joshua whines again as things don't go his way.

Change my heart, O God....
     when I find Meghan playing with toys instead of picking up her clothes as she was told.

Change my heart, O God....
     when Mallory argues and debates the wishes of her mother.

Change my heart, O God....
     when Morgan face turns into a 2 yr. old pout when I ask her to help with the dishes or start her school.

Change my heart, O God.....
      when I find out Madison has tried to manipulate a 4 yr. old to do her dirty work.

Change my heart, O God...
      when Saturday's with Keith are filled with hunting and football games.

Yes, these are just a few of the things that we find ourselves dealing with on a daily basis in the Boggs household. I am not focusing on the negative. I am only identifying with the reality of the kinds of things that make me act in a way that is not Christ-like and my desire is that during these situations that God would indeed "Change my heart." This song goes on to say...."Make it ever true. Change my Heart, O God. May I be like you."

Grant me love. Grant me joy. Grant me peace. Grant me patience. Grant me kindness. Grant me goodness. Grant me gentleness. Grant me self-control. May I be like you!
