On Divine Involvement

We believe that everything that happens is done with divine involvement. But if some think it's enough to pray and God will do everything for me, it's a deep misconception. Because God will never indulge in laziness, sloppiness, indifference, idle pastime, but God will always succeed in human efforts under two circumstances and two conditions: if it's real effort and if by doing this effort, a man does not attribute everything to himself, but turns to God with prayer and conscious of its limitedness, asks the Lord to help.
