When Prayer Doesn't Work
In recent times, there are so many people who act spiritual and therefore neglect basic principles that govern Life. People need to stop using prayer as an excuse for laziness. Prayer is a powerful weapon which we should make more use of. However, God did not call us to only pray about His will but also to participate in it.
When we pray, we are demonstrating our dependence upon God and our faith in God. The key moment comes AFTER we have prayed. What do we do then?
Prayer requires action on our part. Too many who pray, fail to follow up their prayers with ACTION. They pray and seek God for a need in their life, finish praying, and then sit back waiting for God to meet their need. Is God able? Of course, He is God! However, never forget that we pray out of faith, and true faith requires ACTION.
If you are praying to God to meet your financial needs, pray, but then ACT! Seek out successful men and women and get their wise counsel. Sit down and put a game plan together to help you meet your financial needs and achieve your financial goals.
If you are praying to God for your marriage or for a relationship, pray, but then ACT! Seek out Godly counsel from your pastor or some other qualified Christian counselor. Get away with your spouse or the person you are in a relationship with and spend quality time openly and honestly communicating with each other.
If you are praying to God for weight loss, pray, but then ACT! exercise, adopt better eating habits and a healthier lifestyle.
If you are praying to God for a job, pray, but then ACT! Send applications, do volunteer jobs, contact companies.
Prayer is not a passive exercise but an active one. We are active participants in God answering our prayers. It requires action on our part. It is God who is answering our prayers, but our faith requires us to be involved in that process. Prayer without action is not going to resolve anything. Don’t just pray big prayers, but take bold steps and believe that as you pray and ACT, you will see God do amazing things.
You shouldn't just pray out of dependence upon God, but out of FAITH in God. True faith requires ACTION on our part. If you really believe something, you will live it. If we truly believe God will heal us, or provide for our needs, or heal our marriage or relationship, or whatever the need may be, we will be active participants in seeing our prayers answered.
