When you set out to solve a problem by means of prayer you should take all the ordinary normal steps in addition. Do not simply pray and then sit down and wait for something dramatic to happen. For instance, if you are praying for a position, you should pray for it as well as you know how each day, and then go out and visit agencies or prospective employers, write applications, or insert advertisements in suitable periodicals.
If you want a healing, treat about it in whatever way you usually find to be best and, in addition, take whatever material steps seem to be appropriate.
If your business is not prospering, have a checkup to discovery if you are managing it efficiently. If you find weak points, as you almost certaily will, you must correct them forthwith.
We certainly cannot expect to go on breaking the laws of the plane on which we live, and expect prayer to compensate for this foolishness.
Whatsoever thy hand findeth to do, do it with thy might… (Ecclesiastes 9:10).
God has a partner here below in each of us. It is our job to carry out here below that for which we pray above. We can pray for rain to water our gardens, but if we are not tending to it, the rain will be of little use. God will send us what we need in due course and if we make proper use of it our lives will be blessed in the ways for which we pray.
Tending the garden,
