TAKING ACTION
Nehemiah 4:9 ERV "But we prayed to our God. And we put guards on the walls to watch day and night so that we could be ready to meet them."
Prayer is not an excuse for abdication of duty or responsibility; instead, prayer should give you the courage to take action. We do not pray so that God will do all the work; no, we pray so that God will help us do our work better.
The reason why nothing is happening is because you have done nothing. You've been praying and praying and praying, maybe waiting for an angel to bring you a message from heaven: lol. Listen to me; sometimes you have to walk by faith; God has heard your prayers and He has released grace; take action!
The Israelites prayed, and they put guards on the wall. Prayer should not prevent you from locking your doors, if you leave your doors open thieves will come in! Do you understand? Prayer should never be used as an excuse for negligence, laziness and carelessness: prayer is an invitation to God to be with you, to be your senior partner, and to guide you; prayer is an expression of trust in God and an acknowledgement of your need for Him; prayer makes wise and gives understanding: after you pray, take action!
