“God ought to be able to do anything.” Then he added, “He sure didn’t do much for me when I was trying to fight this booze racket alone.” (Page 158)
When I ask God to remove my fear, or remove my defects, that does not mean I sit back.
I still have to take action.
In fact, all of the visible action must be taken by me.
God firstly directs that action and secondly works behind the scenes.
I ask God to move a mountain, and He hands me a shovel and shows me where to start digging.
