A Prayer that Scared Me Until I Realized It Was True

"Father, I can't deal with my day, I can't do what is laid out for me to do today unless I can be the person I will be in the New Heavens and Earth. If I could be like that person of the future today, then I can honor you today, and my day will go well."

The kingdom of God is at hand.
If anyone is in Christ, behold--new creation!
Your old self was crucified with Christ so that just as Christ was raised from the dead, so too you also now walk in newness life.

It is true. It is. To pray this is to believe the Scriptures, and to pray this puts on that new person. To pray this is to become this person.

Wow.
