In the scripture
above, the Master is clear about the process. Through prayer, fasting, and hard
work, with a motive to serve Him, we can expect His grace to attend us. I can
assure you from my own experience, that does not mean we will always be on the
high end of the grading curve. It means that we will learn more rapidly and
grow in skill beyond what we could do only with our unaided natural abilities.

I cannot promise academic success or perfect families. Nor can I tell you the way in which He will honor His promise of adding blessings upon you. But I can promise you that if you will go to Him in prayer and ask what He would have you do next, promising that you will put His kingdom first, He will answer your prayer and He will keep His promise to add upon your head blessings, enough and to spare. Those apparent prison walls of “not enough time” will begin to recede, even as you are called to do more.
