Prayer without work
I will like to say a little thing about prayer. I know you are all waiting to hear me say, pray hard, God will provide all your needs and answer your prayers once u table them to him but let me say this,
Waiting for God to do something or everything for you whilst you do nothing for yourself is not prayer, it is acute divine over-estimation garbed in mental laziness, self-admittance of failure and personal irresponsibility.
Prayer does not mean more than a divine requisition for supernatural intervention for human circumspection and manual perspiration. Prayer is no magic. If prayers alone work, Nigeria would have been a paradise on earth. That's why we have many wretched, incompetent, dysfunctional and frustrated praying mantis, perhaps the world's largest bunch in Nigeria.
Sadly, many only pray about things they plan to do absolutely nothing about. Work it and you would not need to pray it. If you spend so much time on your feet, you would not need to spend so much time on your knees.
You have been helped, not you will be helped. You received dominion over circumstances as humans from creation, don't pray for your natural heritage, just activate it by hardwork and properly directed effort. Don't ever forget that nothing works until you work it out. Even the Holy Book says prayer without work is dead
Be guided.
Remain blessed
When I read those lines above I could help but to smile innocently.
Honestly, many of us have failed to strike a clear balance between the subject of prayer and hard work. But I think this statement provides clarity to the matter:

I concur, praying hard without working hard is a futile effort...
