Faith + Action
Prayer Will Not Fix Everything
But …
Prayer Accompanied by Actions Will Fix (Most) Things
James 2:17 states “In the same way, faith by itself, if it is not accompanied by action, is dead.”
This means that we do need to have faith (through prayer). However, prayer must be accompanied by productive actions so we can help ourselves heal from difficulties we might encounter.
For example, we can only offer so many prayers with we are struggling with trauma. At a certain point, you will need to take action by going therapy, support groups, etc.
The same could apply in other situations, such as jobs. You will need to pray for a new job, but if you do not act on an opportunity, the desired outcome will never occur.
