Let Us Pray? - Thoughts + Prayers + Participation
Manage episode 401008610 series 1260710
Ever heard the phrase, “Thoughts and Prayers?” Do you cringe at the sound of it? I am almost certain this expression began from a sincere place of sympathy.
But overtime, it has become a trite, empty, and meaningless cliché. Why? Because it has become a substitute for responsibility.
Today, we talk about prayer not as a substitute for responsibility, but an invitation into responsibility.
Our friend Shane Claiborne sums it up best, “If we ask God to move a mountain, God often gives us a shovel.”
