Change Me, Teach Me, Lead Me

⁴`` Make me know Your ways, O LORD;
Teach me Your paths.
<sup>5</sup>Lead me in Your truth and teach me..``

Psalms 25:4-5

"Make me know Your ways, O LORD..."

We say ` Make me ` if we want something to happen to us or if we want to experience something. God wants to teach us how He works through us, but the desire to change needs to start in us. David wanted the Lord to interfere in His life that is why he asked the Lord `Make me know Your ways `. Truly I understand why David wanted to experience the Lord for the Lord never disappoints people who wait and seek the Lord. As the Lord said in Psalms 22:5:

⁵To You they cried out and were delivered; In You they trusted and were not disappointed

"...Teach me Your paths."

Once we are changed we will have the desire to learn. He teaches us His ways because He wants us to learn who He really is and that in turn we might experience victory in Him.

⁴ For the LORD your God is the one who goes with you to fight for you against your enemies to give you victory." Deuteronomy 20:4

Although sometimes God allows trials to refine us so that we would not remain in our old self and that we may be better persons. What kind of Father does not want the best for His child? Daniel 11:35 says,

5 Some of the wise will stumble, so that they may be refined, purified and made spotless until the time of the end, for it will still come at the appointed time.

"Lead me in Your truth..."

Knowing who God is in our lives will make us want to be guided. We would want Him to lead us for He knows everything. As they say, "The truth will set you free" and in life only God will set us free- Set us free from our struggles, our frustrations, anything that is displeasing in our lives.

⁶Jesus answered, "I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me. John 14:6
