We all should remember that Parnasah comes from Hashem, and no matter how much you do it will not change what is destined for you to receive. Everyone should ask a shaila before they buy a lottery ticket it might be more kdai to give the dollar to tzedaka since you’ll get so much more reward in Olam Habah,
Yes our parnanasa comes from Hashem but you have to do your part. That’s like someone saying I need a job and someone offers you one but the hours don’t work for you so you don’t take job and give up looking. If you really wanted to work you would make it work. Hashem sends us things we need in many ways.
