Song of the Day- 13

I have been feeling overwhelmed recently. And much of it boils down to the fact that I want to be selfish with part of my time. I want there to be enough time for me to do all the things on my various lists, but still be able to spend several hours on exercise and entertainment. Now, while there is nothing wrong with either exercise or entertainment, neither of those is at the top (or even near the top) of my current priorities. So, as I was praying this morning, I thought of this song:

Change My Heart Oh God

Change my heart oh God
Make it ever true
Change my heart oh God
May I be like you

You are the potter
I am the clay
Mold me and make me
This is what I pray

Change my heart oh God
Make it ever true
Change my heart oh God
May I be like you

"Woe to him who strives with him who formed him, a pot among earthen pots! Does the clay say to him who forms it, 'What are you making?' or 'Your work has no handles'? Woe to him who says to a father, 'What are you begetting?' or to a woman, 'With what are you in labor?'"
Isaiah 45:9-10
 

And we know that for those who love God all things work together for good, for those who are called according to his purpose. For those whom he foreknew he also predestined to be conformed to the image of his Son, in order that he might be the firstborn among many brothers. And those whom he predestined he also called, and those whom he called he also justified, and those whom he justified he also glorified. What then shall we say to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us? He who did not spare his own Son but gave him up for us all, how will he not also with him graciously give us all things?
Romans 8:28-32
