Many do good works but how do we know it was what God asked them to do? We need to be doing what we see the Father doing. Those are the works that count. That’s why prayer is so important. We can be so busy doing good things for God that we miss Him and miss what He’s really calling us to do.

Bingo.

***We need to be doing what we see the Father doing.***

Umm, what have you seen the Father doing?

***That’s why prayer is so important. We can be so busy doing good things for God that we miss Him and miss what He’s really calling us to do.***

If you mean that we can be so busy doing things that we think are good instead of doing what He’s really calling us to do, then we are in complete agreement.

Your own Protestant freinds would say "the indwelling spirit." It's nonsese, of course.

We need to be doing what we see the Father doing

No one has seen the Father; let alone seen the Father doing things.

That’s why prayer is so important

No. Prayer is important because we know mercy. And emrcy is not of this world. And because the Bible says "Ask and you shall receive."

We can be so busy doing good things for God that we miss Him and miss what He’s really calling us to do

He is "calling" you? How do you know who is calling you? Do you have His Caller ID number?
