My front porch is my most favorite place to talk to God—a cup of coffee and my prayer journal, and I am a happy girl. I spent many mornings praying similar prayers in a rough season of my life. My hurt from the actions of others had begun to morph into frustration with God. Why hadn’t He disciplined those who had wronged me? Followers of Christ in the church had acted in sinful, hurtful ways, and I couldn’t fathom why God hadn’t already dealt out their consequences.
Writing out a prayer that I had been praying for months, the Holy Spirit spoke to my heart; the Spirit changed my heart. He reminded me “even if.” Even if my situation never changed, even if those who had wronged me never suffered any consequences, even if I didn’t understand it, God was still worthy of my praise, not my frustration. The Spirit changed my heart with those two simple words.
What is the Holy Spirit speaking to you? The Spirit wants to change your heart and actions, but you have to listen. Look back at how Paul was changed in Acts 9:1–19. Paul wasn’t looking for a heart change, but God made sure he listened. Spend some time listening to the Spirit this week. Let God speak to you and transform you to be more like Him.
