| Prayed or Talked? |
| I saw the following quotation online recently: |
“Have you prayed about it
as much as you have talked about it?” |
| Here are 7 things we often spend a lot of time talking about: |
| 1. What we should be doing for the Lord. |
| 2. What others should be doing for the Lord. |
| 3. The faults of family, friends, and other believers. |
| 4. The faults of those in government and other places of authority. |
| 5. Problems in our personal life. |
| 6. Problems in our family life. |
| 7. Difficulties among Christians. |
| Remember, prayer would be a great deal more effective than talk. The next time you go to talk to someone else about such things as we have just listed, why not talk to the Lord about it instead? Remember the Lord’s words, “That men ought always to pray, and not to faint” (Luke 18:1). Idle talk and chatter tends to discourage and dishearten. Prayer strengthens and encourages. “Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit” (Ephesians 6:18). |
