Finding Inspiration: Have you prayed about it as much as you have talked about it?

Ah, a very, very simple and important question. My answer to that is no. This is one of my down falls.

Now don't get me wrong...I am a God-fearing, praying woman. But, do I always turn to God with my troubles? No. Do I always turn to God and praise or thank Him when I have one of those just perfect days? No. Do I say a prayer for someone who hurts my feelings, offends me, or rubs me the wrong way? Sometimes.

I am in imperfect person made by a perfect God. So, what do I do in these circumstances? I turn to others...my husband, friends, coworkers. I go to them with my complaints and praises more often than I go to God. I need to work on this. I need to be thankful to Him first. I need to turn to Him for answers first. I need to talk about it less and pray about it more!

1 Corinthians 14:15 What am I to do? I will pray with my spirit, but I will pray with my mind also; I will sing praise with my spirit, but I will sing with my mind also.

James 5:16 Therefore, confess your sins to one another and pray for one another, that you may be healed. The prayer of a righteous person has great power as it is working.
