As you pray, move your feet

We’d all like to wish on a shooting star, rub Buddha’s magical belly, lucky rabbit’s foot, or say a prayer to God and believe that all our dreams will magically come true, but the harsh reality is that it’s rare. once, if ever.

Quakers had a saying “While you pray, move your feet.” Which means don’t just apply and hope for a pot of gold at the end of the rainbow. Make your request to God, to Allah, to the universe by all means, yes, but act to make it a reality, because in essence God can do more through you than he can do for you.

(for the sake of this article we will use God). As an example, praying to God to win the publishers’ clearinghouse and then never stepping into it, is a clear case of praying and not moving your feet. It’s just not going to happen. We are often lazy in our petitions to God and expect miracles with little or no effort on our part. If we are seriously committed to a desire and/or goal, stay focused, stay on track, and God will guide you to his destiny, but God has to do it through us.

Think about the moments in your life when you have made your greatest achievements or wishes come true. Did it just happen out of the blue, or were you so focused on wanting that in your life that nothing was going to stop you? I bet you kept your eyes on the prize, never letting anything distract you, and gave your full attention to that goal, didn’t you?

This is an excellent example of God opening and clearing the path of success for you. Thought, Word and Work. Thought = what you wanted. Word = Your expression of that thought of God. Deed = Move the feet in action towards the desired goal.

It is a powerful and unstoppable combination for success. If you’re having a hard time reaching your goals or having your prayer answered the way you’d like, take stock of your level of commitment. If you approach your prayers with undeniable faith, coupled with action, the path will become clear and you will achieve more and more in your life.

Remember, Thought, Word and Work, and let God work through you to fulfill your greatest desires. God be with you, for your success,
