John 9:6-7
"When he had thus spoken, he spat on the ground, and made clay of the spittle, and he anointed the eyes of the blind man with the clay, And said unto him, Go, wash in the pool of Siloam, (which is by interpretation, Sent.) He went his way therefore, and washed, and came seeing."

I believe that faith without action doesn't work, as in the verse above, if the blind man had not acted by getting up and walked in faith to the well he would not had received his sight. Therefore, we have to pray but also act upon that prayer for God to see our faith in action, and he will go ahead of us to open the way.
In other words, "God helps those who help themselves."
