I think sometimes we do get stuck though and literally have to take it to and wait for the Lord to open a window somewhere or close the door, etc. There are some situations where He has to "do" for us and/or perhaps suggest ways we can continue. It's kind of like Jesus in the Garden praying, "take this from me". He wouldn't have been able to "get out of" the situation by Himself if that had been God's Will. Peter got released from prison, etc. It's all right to pray for jobs, people's health, our own health/concerns and "sit back" and wait to see what response we get. We're made to want Him and need His help; we can't do "anything" on our own in many senses.
