” \u2026For the sons of this world are more shrewd in their generation than the sons of light.” (Luke 16:8)<\/p>\n

Are you familiar with this type of prayer?
\n<\/p>\n

” My God, I want to change. My God, shows me the reason why I\u2019m like this. God, I don\u2019t want to be this way anymore, help me\u2026 ” You pray and pray but you never take action towards that change. Why is this so? Is it because God is not listening to you? Or is it because your prayer is not enough?
\nFriend, God definitely listens and shows us in which direction we should go.<\/p>\n

The reason we don\u2019t change is inside us! How can God help us if we are not humble enough to recognize our mistakes?<\/p>\n

That’s what happened to me – I wasn\u2019t letting God use me! God showed me and would tell me, \u201cgo!\u201d but, often I said I couldn\u2019t. I won\u2019t know what to say… Why did this happen? Because I was very insecure, shy, and lacked self-confidence to solve simple things or I would make a big deal, and would go in circles and never reached my goal. I was selling myself short.<\/p>\n

The answer to my prayers was Godllywood. It made me look inside myself and that\u2019s not an easy thing to do! At the beginning I said, “That\u2019s not for me! It’s for the youths of the church … ” I was deceiving myself. Today, I realize that in order to help someone I needed to help and change myself first.<\/p>\n

Currently, I\u2019m doing the Rush period. This doesn\u2019t mean that I have become a perfect woman, on the contrary, every day I’m learning to overcome myself. But I can tell you that my prayers are no longer the same, my thinking is not the same, and I\u2019m not the same! How about you? How long will you let your shyness, fear and insecurity prevent God from using you? <\/p>\n

Perhaps nothing in your life is going right. Analyze it and see where the root of the problem is. Overcome your inner being. Overcome yourself! Never forget this, ” Whoever is shy and indecisive can never be a leader, but will always be led. ”<\/p>\n

The decision for you to be a new woman is in your hands. God bless you!<\/p>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
