Fasting changes attitudes

I'm struggling with how to deal with someone lately. I dearly want to communicate my concern with this person and I have a tendency to get bitter about their lack of response to my concerns. I decided to fast today to help clarify my next steps in pursuing a resolution.

At the beginning of the day my prayers mostly sounded like: "God, how can I change this person's mind?" By about mid-day the Spirit had moved my prayers more towards: "God, help this brother in his vocation to glorify you."

Its amazing how the Spirit can slowly change my heart. Its one of the things that 'proves' to me that I have authentic faith when I'm doubting it. Praise to the Lord for His great mercies.
