“When you set out to solve a problem by means of prayer, you should take all the ordinary normal steps in addition. Do not simply pray and then sit down and wait for something dramatic to happen.
“For instance, if you are praying for a position . . . pray for it as well as you know how each day, and then go out and [take action].
“If you want healing, treat about it in whatever way you usually find to be best and, in addition, take whatever material steps seem . . . appropriate.
“If your business is not prospering, have a checkup to discover if you are managing it efficiently. If you find weak points . . . you must correct them forthwith.
“We certainly cannot expect to go on breaking the laws of the plane on which we live, and expect prayer to compensate for this foolishness.”
