The Lord has been teaching me a lesson: Do I think? Or do I pray? Because You know what He's been showing me? That thinking IS NOT praying!! Sure, the Lord knows our thoughts: but that's not prayer! When He was teaching the disciples to pray, He didn't say, "Think about all your problems for a while"--He told us to say, "Give us our daily bread". In Philippians 4, Paul tells us to "think" on those things that are noble, and true, etc--because what we think will eventually become what we say and do!! So, instead of just THINKING about praying--DO IT!!

Hello Shauna,
How's your day/week been?
That's good and all but what do you do when you have been praying about something for a long while but it just seems as though your no further ahead?
When you've been praying, and you are "no further ahead", then there are steps to take. 1st.)Make sure that what you're doing is not a sing. 2nd)Ask someone whom you trust on what you should do 3rd.)Take steps! The Lord will close the doors!! I am convinced that we as Christians often wait for the Lord to open up doors--when we should be walking through the doors until the Lord closes them!! I don't know if this helps what your situation--it all depends!
