I ask God to speak through me.

and leave the outcome in Gods hands.
I really like this approach, TS, and I don't know how many times I have been brought back to a place of earnest prayer with an attitude of:
"Never the less, not my will but Thine be done."
That type of prayers and mentality is a life changing and somehow gives one the strength and/or fortitude to do what is being asked of you. I also feel an immediate relief and peace when I put it in God's hands.
Soldier on....
