Results Require Action

I am not a lazy person, but neither am I a high-energy, bounce out of bed each day with exuberant zeal type. However, I am very determined, and that overrides any lack of feeling I might have. Recently it occurred to me that I might pray for those feelings. After all, the Bible says we have not because we ask not (see James 4:2). After I prayed, as so often is the case, God led me to do some specific things like eating more protein and taking some additional nutrition that was not part of my regiment.. As I have mentioned, God answers prayer, and one of the ways He does is by showing us what we need to do. You won’t get a good result if you pray for energy, then not get enough sleep, eat junk food, are nutritionally depleted, get no exercise, and have a negative mindset. With God, all things are possible, but they are not automatic. We must cooperate with Him and take obedient action. - Joyce
