The cool thing about God is we may not be able to do anything about it, but, He can do something about it. We need to do what we can do, what we feel lead by God to do and pray, God will take care of the rest.

MsLady, it just sounds as though you’re saing all people need to do is pray. Maybe you’re not saying that. But it reads like that to me.

I do not disagree with prayer, in fact prayer is daily bread, more so than bread made from flour.

But God expects his servants to act, not sit at home and pray. Unless that’s all they can do. But most people can either walk or drive or ride wheelchairs, have phones or faxes or computers, have arms and legs that function. And brains. So that means the vast majority of people can pray, and THEN ACT ON THAT PRAYER! Not just sit and wait for God to “do” something.

Usually when He “does” something, that means He empowers or inspires and gives intelligence to people to act on His behalf. And He can arrange outcomes. But if people sit at home, praying, and expect God to get out on the streets or somehow magically change the hearts of all who are evil so they will stop their insane screaming nosedive into hell and take everyone with them, I do not agree.

He expects His servants to act, to take risks, to work hard for Him. Not just sit and pray. Maybe for some it is a vocation - or that’s all they can do, but for most people, they can do more. And should do more.
