No matter how many times this is said, it is not in the Bible and did not come from God, Jesus or any of the others.
Ignore the quote. It is a modern bit of nonsense.

LOL I've heard it. I've even heard people say it's in the Bible (it's not.)
In a way, it's good advice for most situations. If I need a job, I can't sit on my bed and play video games from the time I wake up til the time I go to bed and expect for God to give me a job. If I get up, get dressed, hit the pavement and fill out applications and send resumes, then I believe God opens some doors and closes others, therefore "helping" me get a job.
However, there are some situations where I think God wants us to sit back and wait on him and really doesn't need our "help."
