How God Gave Me Victory

We were all really tired because we had been working for several days at our clothing store. My sister and I were feeling irritable at each other. We were playing together outside and Raeanna kept annoying me, so I went to tell Mama that she wasn’t being nice. But Mama said, “She isn’t the one that needs to change. You need to change.” I started to feel upset. “But Raeanna was the one bothering me,” I said. “She might be bothering you, but you need help not to be upset at her,” Mama told me. “I want you to sit here and pray for God’s victory. If you want to be happy, you are the one who needs to change.” So I started asking God for help to love Raeanna. And He did!
