I have a friend who talks about God and how he helps people all the time. I believe in God. I also believe he gives you a brain to use and you must be responsible for yourself. Take care of your bills, health and family. That requires some kind of work or effort on your part. When I got sick and saw my savings go down with my health, the people in my church and my friends called me to talk to me and check on me. That friend who talked about God helped. They all reminded me that in the good and bad, God is there. Their faith made me feel better and filled me to take care of myself and get strong. I got through with the help of friends.
