Prayer is not an escape from personal effort or responsibility. It is a vehicle for us to refine our choices, and to realize that God is the source of all that we accomplish.
Prayer focuses us on reality, and keeps us in touch with where our life is heading. It's not just a pipe dream. You have to work for what you want. If you're half-hearted, you're not serious about it.
When you pray, reevaluate every step of the way:
Do I really want to accomplish this?
How much am I prepared to sacrifice for it?
Is it worth the price?
Are my goals realistic and right for me?
Am I getting there?
The purpose of life is growth. Prayer is not a magic button to escape that process. By compelling us to make an effort, God gives us the means to truly grow.
God is always waiting for your call. The lines are open. Toll-Free. Pick up the phone today.
