Had some success today at work because I prayed about a project I have been working on. The situation changed but it only changed in response to me praying/talking to the Lord about it. Told my friend this evening to please pray that my attitude would be less about getting my way by more about becoming like Christ. Again like Paul says it in Philippians 3:7-11 (NASB) :
7 But whatever things were gain to me, those things I have counted as loss for the sake of Christ. 8 More than that, I count all things to be loss in view of the surpassing value of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord, for whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and count them but rubbish so that I may gain Christ, 9 and may be found in Him, not having a righteousness of my own derived from the Law, but that which is through faith in Christ, the righteousness which comes from God on the basis of faith, 10 that I may know Him and the power of His resurrection and the fellowship of His sufferings, being conformed to His death; 11 in order that I may attain to the resurrection from the dead.
I want to be so disciplined that I will have Christ's attitude that I want to give God glory and I am willing to walk through whatever to be there. Wow! I am biting off and asking God to work in me. It is a slow and tedious process but I have seen small changes. ... 365 days Day 137
