Obedience, Nothing To Do But Pray?

When I've done all I can do then I'll say there is nothing to do but pray. Throw that wet spaghetti on the wall and hope something sticks. This unfortunately, is my attitude sometimes, even though I say it isn't, God's man of faith! LOL!   Help me, Lord to walk in the kind of faith that puts total trust in you, and does not rely on my own strength to accomplish the work that seems to be for the Kingdom. Let it rise and fall in the realm of the Spirit. Let my life walk in the faith of the Savior. Any work not prayed over, during and throughout is not reliably an obedient work.
Obedience means staying connected to the Father, following His directions, even when it seems to be something we can easily do without consultation and prayer, it may be that it turns out to be a trap or snare for us to fall into. The road less traveled is a harder road and requires us to follow our Heavenly Tom-Tom for the entire duration of the trip. Pray, read, study, fast, and also seek counsel from the Godly people. All these tools are ours as children to help us walk in our path as children of the Almighty Father of All.

Hebrews 5

Qualifications for High Priesthood
 1 For every high priest taken from among men is appointed for men in things pertaining to God, that he may offer both gifts and sacrifices for sins. 2 He can have compassion on those who are ignorant and going astray, since he himself is also subject to weakness. 3 Because of this he is required as for the people, so also for himself, to offer sacrifices for sins. 4 And no man takes this honor to himself, but he who is called by God, just as Aaron was.
A Priest Forever
   
5 So also Christ did not glorify Himself to become High Priest,
but it was He who said to Him:


      
“ You are My Son,
      
Today I have begotten You.”

6 As
He also says in another place:


      
“ You are a priest forever
      
According to the order of Melchizedek”;

    7
who, in the days of His flesh, when He had offered up prayers and supplications, with vehement cries and tears to Him who was able to save Him from death, and was heard because of His godly fear, 8 though He was a Son, yet He learned obedience by the things which He suffered. 9 And having been perfected, He became the author of eternal salvation to all who obey Him, 10 called by God as High Priest “according to the order of Melchizedek,”
