Religion and quitting

Morning everybody. I got an intersecting comment recently. Now, I notice there are a lot of people on here who are very spiritual. I, myself, am a Christian. We can get a lot of strength from prayer, reading the bible, etc. but a friend of mine raised a good point. Some people might think if they pray hard enough, God will do all the work, wave his magic wand (not being disrespectful, y'all know what I mean), and poof: we will quit. I believe in miracles, but it doesn't really work that way. God is one of my reasons for quitting. He is part of my tool box, along with friends, family, online support here, etc. He is amazing. But, He isn't going to do all the work for me. He'll help, and I'm sure the big guy upstairs is rooting for me, but he gives us free will. We can do this, He can help, but we have to realize this is our fight.
