PAANO NAGIGING BITIN ANG DASAL?

There is power in prayer. 

Tama naman yun. We are called to pray at all times. Read 1 Thessalonians 5:17. Pray daily. Pray often. Sa bawat hinga mo, magpasalamat at magpuri ka sa Diyos!

But there is a trap that we need to watch out. That trap is a Christian who has an active prayer life but does not couple it with action. Bitin yan.

Psalms 23:4 says "Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I fear no evil; for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me."

Awesome verse indeed! But for now don't focus on the phrase "the valley of the shadow of death". Don't focus on the "I fear no evil" or don’t focus on the beautiful closing phrase "your rod and your staff, they comfort me.” Madami at maganda lahat yan pero mag-focus ka muna sa "I WALK...". Walking is action word. The writer had faith in God and he acted.

FAITH & ACTION ARE A DEADLY COMBINATION.

James 2:17 says "So faith by itself, if it has no works, is dead."

• Are you praying for a healthier body but not exercising & following a healthy diet?
• Are you praying for work but not applying or sending out your CV?
• Are you praying for healing of broken relationships but pride keeps you from approaching other person?
• Are you praying for a better country but you don’t pay your taxes properly?
• Are you praying for your personal conversion but you keep on going to places where you fall into sin?

What are you praying for today? Do you part. Act on it. Pray more this LENT. Act more so you can bless more people. - alvinfabella@yahoo.com
