God helps those who help themselves

 

                                God helps those who help themselves

        You cannot expect anything to happen on its own.
    Miracle can occur when one does some labor on his won.
A merchant was driving along a muddy lane with a full load of merchandise in his wagon, when the wheels of his wagon sank so deep in the mire that no efforts of his horses could move them. As he stood there, looking helplessly on, and calling loudly at intervals upon God for assistance, the God Himself appeared, and said to him, " Put your shoulders to the wheel, man !  and goad on your horses, and then you may call on God to assist you. If you don't lift a finger to help yourself, you can't expect God or any one else to come to your aid."
