It won't work if you don't work it!

You know often times people say or complain of things "not working". The "things" can be whatever you want them to be, prayer, workout/diet, relationship/marriage etc you name it. However, people seem a bit taken back when I then ask them, "Well, what have you done to make it work?" In order for things in our life to work, it requires work, effort, and commitment on our part as well in order to ensure or to make sure that things "work" for us or with us. Not that we can control every aspect or every situation, but I'm sure we've all heard the saying, "If we take one step God will take the rest". Well its just like that, we have this notion that God does all the work FOR us. Not realizing that we are expected to do our part as well. If you keep doing the same things that are NOT working, you're going to end up with the same results! So, don't say its not working if you haven't done anything to work it!
