God knows your need (and He’s the only one who can meet it). Instead of focusing on what I need, what I think, what I want, I’m changing my prayer. Show me. Show me who I can bless. Show me who I can encourage. “Give and it shall be given unto you, good measure, pressed down, shaken together, and running over.” If you want joy, rejoice. If you want purpose, give praise.
