Well, I'm not sure how to, and apprently that's where I need whereIneed to be...
Christ said if we ask for anything that brings glory to Him, it will be granted. Having a thirst for God
is Christ-like which is what our goal is to be. If you pray and ask God to give you a thirst for Him,
He should grant that request.
It is only God that can change the hearts of man. God wants us to learn to seek Him and depend
on Him like He is the air we breathe. We can't change our hearts, only our minds. I know for me, I had to
ask God to give me a heart for Him and help me be dependent on Him. The Bible says God is happy
when we as His children depend on Him and bring our requests to Him.
God has changed my heart. Before I was cold and couldn't understand why though I wanted to feel
a deep caring toward others and understood it was Christ-like, I just couldn't do it no matter how
hard I tried. I started to pray about it asking God to give me a heart for Him and a caring for others
to replace my current "heart condition". He will grant this request usually since you are not only
making your request known to Him but are asking to be made more like Him. God already knows
our needs but it is only by us bringing our request to Him that we start to realize our needs. Then
change will happen as Christ's power is within us and empowers us to do things we never thought
were possible.
And about my changed "heart condition", I'm getting ready to start a ministry to help single parents
in the next few days. I would never have considered doing this a year ago.
