Even so faith(prayer and all, but getting on your knees and reciting some prerequisite number of "Our Fathers" and "Hail Mary's"), if it hath not works(responsibilities to stash weapons, supplies and intel information on potential targets, those you need to protect and those you may find it important to hit), is dead, being alone.-James 2:17(interspersed with quotes from Breacher)

To me, prayer and preparation go hand in glove.

I see some who refuse to prepare materially for disaster saying the God will protect them, and maybe he will. I also see those that prepare only in the secular sense and leave out the spiritual aspects.

While one is free to do as he or she chooses, I feel that a balance must be struck between the two.

I believe that failure to prepare is preparing to fail. I further believe failure to prepare without prayer for guidance is preparing to fail catastrophically.
