How do you respond to the frequently heard critique that prayer is “not enough”? How can prayer instead be action of the most practical kind?

Prayer is the most important action we can take in someone’s behalf. Not only can it bring about an answer to the prayer but can also be the turning point in someone’s life who doesn’t know God. I have three friends for whom I pray for salvation. That is all I can do for them because I can’t force them to accept Jesus. It can be disheartening to pray for someone’s salvation when it looks like nothing is happening, but even if they don’t get saved, at the end I will know that if they don’t end up in heaven, I did care enough for them to pray.

Prayer is taking action. It is trusting in God’s plan for our lived. It is a demonstration of faith. It is knowing that God hears us.

Prayer is enough because only God is able to handle every situation. Prayer is the best action that can be done. With God all things are possible.

Prayer is always enough. God will lead you to take the action that He wants you to take in that situation.

There are times I can’t do anything. Maybe there is distance between me and the need, maybe me is the last thing a person wants to see, or maybe I just don’t know what IS NEEDED. Prayer could bring in a person who CAN help, or can show me how I can help.
