We are living in the strangest of times, or at least, the strangest I have ever seen.
I have often heard the phrase, "All I can do is pray", almost as if it's a hopeless thing to do. Now, in all fairness, I don't believe that those saying it really believe that it's a cast off or last resort action. They simply feel that they, themselves are unable to do anything else. But it puts prayer in a negative station, almost as if we feel not much power exists there. I say that this isn't so. So much meaness and anger. People are being so unkind to each other. Why doesn't He step in and do something if He is there? His power is beyond what we as mortal beings comprehend. The power of prayer is real. He is real. Pray. Pray with all the strength you have. Then pray again.
Instead of saying with hopelessness, and lacking faith "All I can do is pray", say instead, "I can and will pray!" Then do, and pray earnestly from your heart. Pray for your loved ones. Pray for hearts to change. Pray for our country. Then be quiet. Listen. Accept. Let Him walk with you. Think of Him and ponder with Him every day. It's ok to be a religious person. Be one. Follow the example of the One who gave His Life for us. Notice the difference between those who carry light and those who carry darkness. It is the difference between those who are light givers and those who drain it from others; THose who have the light of Christ and those who do not. Do not lose your light. Pray. It is our link to Him, and Prayer is Power.
