Preparing for The Miracle

Have you ever found yourself praying for something you really want? So often we ask God for blessings and miracles, and when we don't get them we feel like He has forsaken us. The truth is we probably aren't being blessed not because God is forsaking us, but because we are not taking action. If we want to see God move in our lives we have to move first. In this week's episode, Nancy talks about preparing for the miracle and the responsibility we have to put some action behind our prayers. "...faith by itself, if it is not accompanied by action, is dead."
