People believe in God; they believe in His mercy good that they do. But it would be very wrong to think that it is God who has given us birth in this world and it is He who should look after us. Such a thinking and philosophy is self-defeating and thoroughly ill-thought. God has given us birth and has equipped us with a body, a mind and a soul.
These are like gifts given to us by God. If one has got wealth and one lock it up in the bank locker without putting it to any use or does not want to use it, what would be the result? Such a one shall have all in his shelf but would die of starvation. Who can help such a fool?
Similarly, God would also only help the doer and not the dullard, not the idler. Make your own efforts, struggle hard and then only shall you be rewarded. And that of course is, unless God wants you to be rewarded, you cannot be rewarded. Call it destiny if you choose to but that is what it is.

ADVERTISEMENTS:
You sow the seed but before it, you have to work hard to till the soil, to plough the fields. And even after sowing the seed you have to give the sprouts due care, water them at intervals, clean the weeds, save the plants from birds and animals all this hard labour alone can provide the crop and fill in your granary.
If you think that you have sowed the seed, your job is over now God should help to do the rest that is not going to happen. Even the food served before you would reach your month only when your hands, your fingers carry them up. God would not come to feed you.
So depend upon your own efforts and pray to God to let you succeed. Many things are wrought by prayer too, but not just by prayer. Your efforts are primary, prayers then are the secondary support. God helps but helps only those who help themselves.
