Prayer is very essential, but it's never meant to replace obedience or the effort that you have to make to put things in order.
Matthew 7:7 is not a call to be lazy, but it's a call to move, to ask, to pray, to seek. And when we knock and we are ready to accept what comes, when the door is open to us, then God will open. This message corrects the common mission of understanding in Christianity today.
Prayer alone does not guarantee results. God is not glorified by stagnation. He is honored when prayer produces action and action guided by faith. Prayer does not fall from heaven like that. Opportunities do, but only for those willing to move. The Bible shows
that God partners with human effort.
Divine position often comes through when we are disciplined, sacrificial and honest labor faith that is used to act just become a mere empty words. This teaching has restored balance that spiritual dependence on what we say God combined with personal responsibility.
Yes, pray, but after praying God direct the steps of those who already working in his faith.
