Then return to the main prayer tonight and notice what changed in your thoughts, speech, or choices. This practice is deliberately small because repeated obedience usually forms the heart more faithfully than dramatic promises made in a rush. If you need a second step, make it this: receive one human limit honestly and stop treating control as the same thing as faithfulness with the help of a simple written plan for the next faithful step.
