God prepares you for conversations that must be delivered

It's very obvious to me that God has prepared me for the same dialog that was meant to be delivered in multiple settings. It's so interesting the times I feel a déjà vu moment, yet it really is the same conversation just at different times, with different people from all over the globe, yet the same message. And here it goes. "Stop trying to fix something in your life, world, family, environment, organization, group, church etc and instead get on your knees and pray". Prayer covers it all. Prayer makes a difference. Prayer is all powerful. I found myself in the middle of this conversation just last week as I tried to remain respectful of my elderly loved one, but finally had to say "when do you plan on praying about the problem instead of acting like its someone else's issue to fix". Silence is golden and very telling. After lots of excuses and "he should haves" and "she could haves" it was concluded that if we would just pray we all would realize that the battle is not ours, it belongs to God. I come from a family of praying people and learned from the women in my lineage that gathering in prayer is not only our responsibility, but it's our weapon against anything that is not like God intended. If things in your home, church or work environment are out of order, go pray. I have vivid memories of early morning family prayers or my grandmother praying over us after school. And guess what? Times were different and better back then. So as much as I love to complain at times, I KNOW I should be praying instead and asking God to bring HIS people back to order.
