I was kneeling in prayer in the chapel -- I was thinking of something that was coming into my life that filled me with apprehension. I knew it was not the will of God that I should be saved from the experience. Even at that moment it was moving toward me. Suddenly God told me the prayer He would listen to, and I said quickly "Change no circumstance of my life. Change me. "
