An old Romanian proverb goes:

God gives you, but he doesn't place it in your bag - literal translation.

In other words, God listens to your prayers and reaches out to you, but you've got to play your part, reach out for his hand and take whatever it is he's offering what you had prayed for. I found the same thing applies in magick, as you've got to take mundane steps to help the outcome of certain rituals manifest better. If you cast spells for a new job you've got to send out resumes, then go to all the interviews you end up being caleldbto and try to do your best during each one. If you cast for more money and an opportunity arises in the form of a second job or an errand, you should take it.

Same goes for the stuff in my books. There are a few who got at least one of them. I know for a fact at least one of them was literally praying for help before buying one. But I'm quite sure they did not use it for dealing with their issues... Your prayers have been answered, you only have to play your part now!

I cannot help anyone who does not want to be helped and I respect their free will not to intervene and try forcing them to do something. Alas, moving on...
