How to Change – Part 2

Renewing Your Mind Through Prayer and Listening

Building on what we learned yesterday, another way to renew our minds is by praying and hearing from God. We can ask God to change our desires, and He has the power to do it. But prayer is not just speaking—it’s also listening. Just one word from God can change everything!

As you pray, take time to listen for God’s voice. His words are life-changing. Sometimes we think a certain way until God speaks and reveals His perspective. It can completely change your mind and heart.

It is important to:

• Get alone and quiet
• Take notes so you don’t forget what God says
• Ask for direction on decisions or situations in your life

Often, God will respond to our prayers and give us clarity. His guidance renews our minds to see situations His way and leads to the changes we desire.

God will always speak in line with His Word. He will never contradict Himself. This ensures that the guidance you receive is truly from Him, not from your flesh or the enemy. As your mind is renewed, your desire to do God’s will grows, and it becomes your treasure. When this happens, your life changes for the better!

Prayer

In your own words, talk with God about your life and your thoughts. Ask Him to renew your mind and take time to listen for His guidance.
