DENNIS

Good Morning. I’m Dennis Gossett with Central United Methodist Church. Well, we are starting a brand new year. There will be a lot of changes in 2016. If you are like me than we hope to make a couple of personal changes. Probably the most significant one for our country is the election of a new commander-n-chief. However, I think the majority of us believe that real change is just some nostalgic idea.

However, long lasting change can happen, but has to start with you and me. Did you know the Bible speaks of prayer as being an agent of change? But for the most of us, prayer has become one-sided. It’s a laundry list of personal wants. Prayer can be much deeper than that. The Bible says prayer can change our hearts, our minds, and even our desires. When we allow this worshipful act to take hold of us, things change. God’s desire becomes our desire. God told Israel that he would heal their lands if only they would sincerely pray.
That promise is also for us in Meridian and all the other communities who are watching this morning. Let’s pray for change. God bless.
