“Keep your thoughts and prayers,” people sometimes say. “We don’t need prayers. We need action.”
Certainly, just offering empty words accomplishes nothing. But heartfelt prayer is powerful.
God knows what we need before we do, so it’s not that prayer changes God. Prayer changes us, if we listen to our own prayers, if we listen for the answer, if we truly say, “Amen.” Then we get up off our knees, roll up our sleeves, and offer ourselves as vessels with thanksgiving for the opportunity to serve.
Never stop praying. Be ready for anything by praying and being thankful. (Colossians 4:2, ERV)
Peace.
