When we seek God, it really needs to be with our whole heart. And when our hearts are truly focused on something, it always shows in our actions. A common mistake many Christians make is to simply pray and then stop there. But if we don't put in any effort ourselves after praying, we might just stay stuck exactly where we are.
Often, what we've asked God for requires us to take a step of faith. The real difference between two people who pray isn't about whether they pray, but about their willingness to act after they pray. Some often doubt God even hears their prayers anymore. But the truth is that He does. While they're busy asking "Where is God?", He's often waiting for them to take that first step. Here's what the passage below says:
James 2:17
Even so faith, if it hath not works, is dead, being alone.
Christianity is primarily about faith, and the things we do, the lengths we go to, are what truly justify our faith. Even if things don't always go exactly as we expect or predict, it's always far better to act than to do nothing at all.
