Someone wrote:

That’s why I quoted something not from the Bible but which was true …”God helps those who help themselves”. If you do not want to help yourself there is very little hope.

I responded:

This idea is explicit at least once [*] and implicit many times in the Bible… [*] Clue: to whom did God say ‘Stop praying and get moving’ (or words to that effect) ?

One suggestion:

and if a man doesn’t work, neither let him eat

And mine:

And Exodus 14:15 – God to Moses: ‘Stop praying and get moving!’

Shalom!
