We
tend to use prayer as a last resort, but God wants it to be our first line of
defense. We pray when there's nothing else we can do, but God wants us to pray
before we do anything at all.
Most
of us would prefer, however, to spend our time doing something that will get
immediate results. We don't want to wait for God to resolve matters in His good
time because His idea of 'good time' is seldom in sync with ours.
