We often pray to God for things that we are supposed to take full responsibility for. What if you pray to God for stable electricity, good governance, a comfortable life, good roads, and so on, and one day you find yourself in an environment where all those things are the norm? What would you do then? Would you stop praying to God because all your prayers have been answered simply by changing your environment?

This is why many Nigerians, after moving abroad, no longer feel the same urgency to attend church or pray as often. The problems that humans were meant to solve have been handed over to God instead. God has already given us the ability and power to solve many of these problems ourselves.

There are some things you pray for that will not be answered until you decide to grow beyond your current situation and rise to a level where you can attract the things you are praying for. Sometimes, the answer to your prayer is not waiting—it is taking responsibility, growing, and positioning yourself for the opportunities and outcomes you desire.

You will find some people signing a prenup before getting married; you might think that will make the marriage work smoothly, but at the end of the day, you will be surprised that the same marriage will still fail. A marriage that will fail will fail with or without a prenup. I think the most important thing is this: both parties need to truly understand the concept of marriage before going into it, or even your mister might end up looking like a trickster when you finally say I do to him.
