Another good piece from Furtick:

Another dangerous dichotomy is our frequent separation of prayer and action.  Don’t get me wrong, we all need to rely a lot more on God and less on self effort in our day to day lives.  But that doesn’t warrant the divorce of prayer and action.  Doesn’t God often call us to action in direct response to our prayers?  Aren’t the two supposed to work in tandem?  Aren’t they as inseparable as wet and water?  Then why do we approach them like two opposite extremes?  Why do we insist on stopping to pray?  Shouldn’t prayer and action flow naturally from one another?  Isn’t this the pattern of Scripture?
