This is an illustration I made recently about a common issue, especially in many African countries. Many people believe in a higher power, a force that guides their actions and its outcome, which is fine, I have my faith as well. What is not fine is that some people believe so strongly in a higher power to bring a desired change in their lives that they completely disregard their own ability. Prayer is good, but it will amount to nothing if you dont act. It is ultimately your actions that bring change to the world around you.
The illustration portrays a man praying for a house, while he pays no attention to the materials he can use to build that house. The message is simple: You can believe in God, but believe in yourself as well.
I’ll also try to post something at least every week, don’t forget to follow if you like what you see. #postaweek #illustration
