Faith is an Action Word

Are you praying earnestly for a move of God in your life?  Are you waiting on an answer? Faith allows us to believe that God will provide and that He will answer the prayer.  I believe that we are to turn our situations over to God and leave them there.  In the meantime, I believe that you must start moving in the direction that you desire your blessing to come.  If you are praying for a new house and never save money toward it or prepare yourself to have the credit to buy a home, then you are not acting on your faith.  Put your faith in action.  The necessary steps to repair your credit or to keep your credit score intact are necessary.  Saving money for the move is required.  If you are not able to make a down payment, research will be needed to find programs that may assist you.  Prayers for restoration in a relationship should facilitate self-examination of the problems and an earnest attempt to communicate with the other person honestly and openly. Perhaps, it may mean seeking help from a professional to mend the relationship.  Action is required.  I made the decision that I was going to follow a desire to be a motivational speaker and I am praying for God to open doors for me to speak to individuals, groups, churches and wherever I may be invited. I have the faith that my prayer will come to fruition.  I now have to put my faith into action and take steps toward that end.   Preparation is the phase of my faith in action plan.  Today’s thought is simply “Have the faith that what you are praying for will become reality and take appropriate action as you prepare for the prayer to materialize.  Faith is an action word.
