I wake in the morning, go to our upstairs office, read Scripture, meditate on it, pray, and listen. Often, I don't get far, because God speaks to me through a verse.

Jesus took Peter, John and James with him
and went up onto a mountain to pray.

and his clothes became as bright as a flash of lightning.
Luke 9:28-29
Jesus, my Redeemer, prayed.

Something was happening, within Jesus, that caused the appearance of his face to change. Even his clothing changed.
I stop here. I cannot get past this. I need more inner change. I close my eyes, open the palms of my hands upward, and pray, "Change my heart, O God."
