talking without praying

Posted On: Sunday, September 21st, 2008 at 12:18 pm

the sermon at church today was quite refreshing. although i didn’t hear everything the preacher said, but i got a bit of pieces here and there. the main thing he pointed out was our prayer life. when we have problems, we should go straight on prayer to God. sometimes, we do the talking more than praying. we share our problems to our friends, to other people or even to our psychiatrist and we could talk for hours. he reminded us that instead of talking why don’t we pray about it. 4 hours of talking versus 4 hours of praying makes a lot of difference.

i agree… sometimes, we talk more to others more than we talk to God about our cares in life. sometimes what we get from talking to others is even worse as sometimes the people we talk to misjudge us or even make conclusions without digging the real problem first. sometimes, they even offer solution.s but you know what, when we talk to God, He won’t judge us, He doesn’t have to dig the problem because He would know that even before we open our mouths and best of all, He offers the best solution!

it is indeed an encouragement to hear such message! but of course, we need to have friends to talk to. justĀ  don’t depend on them too much.
