For years, Psalm 119:25-40 has been taped to my bathroom mirror, but I didn’t realize God was using it to rebuild me.

​

I read these words over and over while standing in front of the mirror in the morning and at night...

​

‘Teach me.’
‘Strengthen me.’
‘Turn my heart.’
‘Preserve my life according to Your Word.’

​

At the time, I didn’t realize I was praying a rebuilding prayer.

I thought God was going to change my circumstances.

But He was changing me.

He was showing me what needed to be surrendered.
He was healing places I had protected.
He was replacing things I carried with His truth.

The rebuilding didn’t happen overnight.

It happened one prayer, one surrender, one moment of obedience at a time.

And now I understand…

God wasn’t just answering my prayer.

He was preparing my heart to receive the answer.”
