On the flip side, when things don't go the way people wanted them to, or if they find themselves in a predicament, they tend to always want to blame the devil. "The devil is trying to attack me, the devil this and the devil that". Sometimes bad things happen to us because of our own foolish actions. If a person has diabetes or hypertension and doesn't change their eating habits and continue to get sick, it's not the devil attacking you! What you need to do is check what's on your plate and make the necessary changes!

If you ask God for his guidance and help, He will do so, but He will not always do the work Himself. Sometimes you have to meet Him halfway. Like the saying goes, "God helps those who help themselves". You can't ask God for example, to help you pass your final exams if you showed up for class only five times in one semester. It just won't happen like that.
