God’s children are often their own answers to prayer. In other words, we pray often for revival, but we seldom proclaim Christ. We pray for a job, but we don’t diligently apply and interview. We pray for an unsaved friend or relative and yet we have not been persistent in pleading with them in the truth. We, as God’s children, are dependent on our Father, but dependence does not disqualify our diligence in obedience.
