Live Your Prayers Outloud

We read and write so many things in order to portray our message of life to other people. I have written so many things for classes, blogs, or even just for the mere sake of needing to write down my thoughts with the hopes that one day someone will read my words, and be moved. And even still I am doing just that. However, I am writing in a seemingly futile attempt to portray this one small message. This message is to all those other people that sit around writing their experiences in life in an attempt to change someone else's. Stop. You can change another's life by living for God, and sharing that love and life with them through merely actions and spoken words...much more that you could if you just sat around and wrote all the time.

Now I am by no means...and in now way telling anybody to stop writin....that, in my opinion, would be stupid. However, I am saying to you many other members of the daily lonely life that seems as though from the time it starts it leads to the ending of another depressing slow actionless life, to live your prayers out loud. I mean so often we pray that God will take control of something and lead it in His own way. Well I am sorry to tell you...but He already has control over everything in this world, and asking Him to take control of it is, in my opinion only telling Him that you need help with your problem. Instead of asking Him to take control, ask Him for help and then keep your eyes wide open, because most of the time the answer is right in front of you and all you have to do is see it, and do it. However if we are always only watching the problem to see the change that God is going to make and waiting for it to happen we will not see that the majority of the time He hears our prayers and gives us the resources to fix it...but we never see the final outcome and end up living with this problem for what seems like forever.

In order to truly listen to God, and allow Him full control over you life you must realize that He exists in everything that you do; you ask for; you seek; you desire; and most importantly your problems. And when it is time to fix the problems in this world it will take male and female followers of Christ alike to Live Their Prayers Outloud in order for us all to be the change we desire to see in the world.

I don't agree with you about the writing bit. I've seen people sit and write and portray pieces of their lives to others and it changes dozens.

I'd be interested to know what set you off on this rant.
