Food for Family Thought
Prayer changes things. It may not automatically change the circumstances I am struggling with, but it does change me. It makes me more willing to seek the will of God and pursue it in my life. When that happens, I find that what really needed to change were not my circumstances, but myself.

If you could change the ending to any movie you’ve ever seen, what movie would it be and how would you change the ending?
