I am a deeply spiritual person, and I pray all the time, or at least as much as possible.  I’ve discovered though, we need to take action, in addition to dedicating our lives to the care of God.

Many people come to God because of pain or suffering.  When all else fails, when people let you down, and /or things don’t go right – God is always there, waiting.

Pray to God and take action.  If you need to lose weight or get healthier, say a prayer asking God for help, but then make concrete changes in your lifestyle.  Eat the right food, in the right amounts.  If you’re ill, say a prayer over and over, asking God for help, but see a doctor and take action.

Prayer alone doesn’t do it.  Prayer, in partnership with doing something about your problems, let’s God’s miracles happen.
