One of my earliest gaming co-op experiences was “Bubble Bobble”, a game featuring a pair of little dragons whose only offensive weapon is… wait for it… blowing bubbles. To clear the level of adversaries, each dragon first had to trap their antagonists in a “bubble”, followed by physically “popping” the bubble to eliminate them. Simply surrounding the enemy with a bubble wasn’t enough, and attempting to attack them prior to “bubbling” them would result in failing the level… the dragons had to work together encasing each of these obstacles in bubbles and then take the appropriate action to pop them in order to clear the stage and move forward to the next level. 

Many times in my life I’ve reached out to the Lord in prayer about my problems, surrounding them with a “bubble” of prayer hoping that He would just make them go away. While there are times our omnipotent Father will solve these needs without any actions required from us, He tends to use our times of prayer to guide us on what specific actions we should be taking rather than simply “taking the wheel”. David couldn’t just pray Goliath away… he still had to physically go face his giant so the Lord could show up and deliver victory through him. Let’s encase all of our problems in prayer today… while planning to be the obedient conduit that He works through.

If a brother or sister is naked and destitute of daily food, and one of you says to them, “Depart in peace, be warmed and filled,” but you do not give them the things which are needed for the body, what does it profit? Thus also faith by itself, if it does not have works, is dead. James 2:15-17

For God is working in you, giving you the desire and the power to do what pleases him. Philippians 2:13

I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me. Philippians 4:13
