Prayer is powerful. But prayer is not magic.
Many Christians are frustrated because they expect prayer to do what only WORK and WISDOM will do.
Here are 5 things prayer will NEVER do for you:
1. Prayer will never do the WORK for you.
You prayed for open doors, but you refused to knock.
You prayed for a job, but you have not sent one CV this month.
James 2:17 — "Faith without works is dead."
Prayer brings opportunity. Work takes the opportunity. If you only pray and never work, you will be a praying beggar.
2. Prayer will never cover up lack of CHARACTER.
You pray "God bless my marriage" but you are still rude, cheating, and proud.
You pray "God give me customers" but you lie to customers and cheat them.
Prayer cannot preserve what your character is destroying. God answers prayer, but character sustains the answer.
