I've read on someone's facebook wall: "Pray as if everything depends on God, and work as if it depends only on you".
I really liked that sentence because it builds up faith in God and strenght in us as we would work hard.
When we work hard and seek God, we are blessed with His grace and our hard work becomes fruits right away.
What I unfortunately see around me is that people, and sometimes even me, pray as if that prayer wouldn't get them anything, and then they work in a lazy way, thinking that God will bless them.
That's twisted, and maybe that's the reason why so many prayers aren't answered. When we pray without belief, that's not faith at all. He says 'you believe, you shall receive' and that's that.
So if we believe and we work hard for what we prayed and then just trust and wait on God, that's a 100% answered prayer.
Let's not be lazy, have a weak and twisted faith. Let's obey and think of God at all times and live the clean lives He has asked to live.
