Many of us believe in the power of prayer.

• We pray for one another.
• We pray for our own concerns.
• We share prayer requests.
• We report answers to prayer.
• We keep prayer lists.
• We pray at meals.
• We pray before we go to bed.
• We pray at church.

We can pray anytime and anyplace. We can also pray from any position:

• Hands together
• Hands apart
• Standing
• Sitting
• Lying down
• Kneeling

However, we sometimes need to get off our knees (or whatever our position). We need to put feet to our prayers. When we put feet to our prayers, we exercise more than our feet.

• Our ears listen for God’s direction.
• Our eyes see problems around us.
• Our minds decide what to do.
• Our feet go where needs exist.
• Our hands reach out to help.

We often think or say, “Somebody ought to do something.” Well, take a good look in the mirror. We are somebody.  So let’s get out there and do something. Let’s put feet to our prayers.

“If anyone has material possessions and sees a brother or sister in need but has no pity on them, how can the love of God be in that person?” (1 John 3:17 NIV).
