A Healthier Way to Pray

A few days ago, I prayed.
“God… give me a breakthrough.”
And it felt good.
Because the way I prayed had changed.
In the past, my prayers were mostly about protection:
“Please don’t let me get sick.”
“Take away the pain.”
“Save me.”
They were all about avoiding something.
But now, I’m learning to pray for something better.
Something healthy. Something forward-looking.
God isn’t a magic wand.
He’s not Santa handing out miracles.
But He is someone we can turn to
when we face real problems—ours and others’.
And we can believe He listens.
The real question is:
How healthy is your prayer?
Prayer grows.
It evolves as we grow spiritually.
