There is/are no shortcuts to prosperity. Prayers is not a key to opening the door to prosperity. Neither can rituals make a person prosper. It takes a person who is smart and disciplined in knowing what to do and how to do it effectively to be prosperous. If you pray throughout the year or perform the most powerful rituals on earth without being involved in some sort of work, then it is all a waste.

Religion is the cause of some people's misfortune due to their lack of understanding about what they believe in. There are still people who are of the believe that all they need to do is to is to pray and pray without working. They fail to understand that money does not fall from heaven like manna. You must choose a line of work that you must actively engage in to earn a living. In short, you must work to put food on your table.
In this part of the World, we place so much on importance on prayers and rituals but we pay less attention to work. We are fond of praying for a better country with good leaders that will give us the dream country that we desire but when it is time to work, we'd be less bothered. Elections are coming in few months time, yet their are people who claim to be tired of the present government who have not registered for their Permanent Voters Card. How is it possible to initiate the change you want if you don't participate in the decision-making of choosing leaders through election?
Most churches, mosques and shrines are always filled with the brim with people seeking spiritual help for their finances and others. They prefer to spend the whole week praying for a miracle to happen in their business in the church. Is your customer going to transact business with you in the church or mosque? We just need to understand that there is no shortcut to prosperity. Anyone who want to be prosperous must be ready to work, work is the only door to prosperity.
I have lost count of the number of my friends who are unemployed that I have told that they can earn a living in the comfort of their homes by blogging but they refuse to join based on one excuse or the other. Yet, they keep ranting about being broke or not being able to afford certain things. Well, I may not totally blame them because cryptocurrencies and the blockchain is perceived as scam by a large majority of people in this country. But it is sad that an educated and vibrant youth is still living in the past.
Even though the blogging platforms on the blockchain seems like a "small deal" I can testify that it is a big deal. This may be your answers prayers to joblessness because I have seen people who bought cars, built houses and got capital to start a business from blogging here. Even for people who do not have flare for writing, you must engage in one line of business or another to be able to afford your basic necessities of life. Even when it seems that you are not earning enough or your efforts seems not to be fruitful, keep on pushing and accumulating your rewards. Companies or individuals that are worth millions of dollars didn't get to that level by staying idle.

Even when you are praying, be proactive and be intentional about the work you do, either offline or online. There are people who do not believe in God, yet they are prosperous. This is simply because they are disciplined, determined and diligent in their business
