I minster each Wednesday in a dementia center. The residents are in various stages of memory loss. Today, as we approach 2024, I brought a 'message' (with Scripture and hymns) after asking this question: What would you like to do better in 2024 for Jesus?

My message and the hymns then revolved around this answer: Trust Him Better. Obey Him Better. Serve Him Better.

And after all the discussion -- mostly one-sided -- I told them what I have known now for only a short time: It is only through the supernatural help of the Holy Spirit that any of us can do any of what we want to do about our relationship with Jesus in 2024.

We, in and of our own will cannot come even close to trusting Him, obeying Him, serving Him as all true followers of Christ wish.

So, I taught them a simple prayer, one that I pray almost daily: "Lord, change my heart."
