ThankQ, I just my wife this discourse as there are a lot of Christians that believe all they have to do is nothing but leave everything in God's hands. While that does sound like strong faith, it is not the way things work. Then why would anyone pray? The Bible says pray in times of trouble, and never ease in praying. It is about "attention". Your thoughts and actions are actually prayers too, and can affect outcomes due to your attention and energies put forth. Attention is like watching the water. Do not dig up and put a new seed, but plants need water in order to come to full fruition.
