I gues...Bryan Norford, I appreciate your comments. I guess I should have added that as we pray we can do things as well. The book of James tells us to have faith and to do good works. I was recently contacted by an organization that was looking for gently used clothes to be given to those who are in need. I had been thinking about some clothes that had been hanging in my closet that I no longer wore. So when the organization called me I was glad to help them out. Thank you for reminded me that prayer and action should be done in tandem. Ruth SakstadRuth A.M.

I think many of us consider world affairs too large for our petty involvement.<br />But prayer knows no boundaries, nor is it limited in scope, because God is the one we have access to. Nothing is too large for Him.<br />But I often feel that prayer without action is a little thin. Just because we cannot do everything, shouldn't stop us from doing something--however small it may be.<br />As the old song says: "Little is much if God is in it!"Bryan Norfordnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37258556.post-62890185592900554272011-03-19T20:51:42.685-07:002011-03-19T20:51:42.685-07:00Yes, Ruth. Let's take comfort in the fact that...Yes, Ruth. Let's take comfort in the fact that God is still in control and nothing takes Him by surprise. It behooves us all to step out of our comfortable and selfish prayers.Tracy Krausshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05066853243062725525noreply@blogger.com
