Prayer and Action

I remember learning from the first minister I had. I thought I had to only pray to obtain things, it was my faith in such a GOD. He kindly gave me insight he said "Ted, it is prayer and action" I replied " what do you mean action?" he said " Do you get a job before applying for it?" I replied "No, that is silly, we have to apply ourselves first" he said " exactly, God calls you to act upon his desires, so he can make the prayer a reality in some cases Ted" The moral of this story is, if you need justice you have to act. A rapist is not just caught by prayer, they are caught by the police. They act. If you need to reach for what is remaining of your dignity, you need to act. This week I apply myself to act, and know God will heeds my action to turn it into a prayer.
