***God helps those who help themselves.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I like the phrase: “Pray as if it were up to God, work as if it was up to you...”

I agree.

Bringing something to God in prayers is placing it in his hands. Faith is knowing that whatever the outcome, it is in His will. So whatever work we do towards the answer to that prayer is an act of faith.

Completely contradicts clear and sound biblical teaching and also from the book of 2nd Opinions. Also known as “failed flesh fallacies”, which lead people away FROM the true God.

I’m with him:

Pray as though everything depended on God. Work as though everything depended on you.
St. Augstine
