Let's say you are alone at a cliff and have to cross to the mountain to the other side. You have no tools no rope nothing. Except faith in God. What do you think? Will prayers alone and your faith take you to the other side ?
Faith is not sitting at the edge of the cliff waiting for God to appear and take you across the cliff to the other side.
Faith is walking off the cliff knowing that one of the two things will happen. Either God will give you wings to fly or God's hand will appear and carry you to the other side. BUT you have to take the first step. That decision and the act has to come from you and not from God.
You can stay till eternity at the edge with the faith that God will take you across but you have to look inwards and ask. Why are you not taking that first step? Isn't it fear that what if nothing happens and you fall of the cliff ? Isn't the fear of failure actually a lack of faith on your part to a certain extent? If you really have faith then put it to test. Walk. And watch the hand of God carry you across to where you want to go.
Earth is enveloped in a blanket of free will. The choices are ours. They cannot be taken by God. We pass up several opportunities in life by waiting for things to happen and still keep praying for what we want and use the excuse "if it is destined it will happen". When it doesn't despite our prayers we come to the conclusion that it was not meant to be and give up. What if God did answer your prayers and is waiting at the cliff with hand outstretched to hold you and take you across? There is only one way to know if your prayers were answered. Walk. Test your faith. If your faith is true you will be carried across. If not, then its probably better to fall off the cliff than waiting for eternity. Be bold in your faith and all the forces will come to your aid. Every small step taken with faith then becomes a giant leap. By the way, waiting for eternity at the cliff waiting for things to happen on their own and dreaming about them is also a choice.
