Do you know if God would get in the way of what people try to achieve. I know he is able to do so, but does He actually do that?
Why would he? If God got inolved, personally in our matters, how could he fairly judge the choices we make?
2044 "So say to him (pharaoh) soft words, perhaps he will remember or take heed."
Our future is not predetermined. You have got the basics squared away, just be patient and hopefully everything will work itself out. -

I wouldn't say that.
God is closer to us than the jugular vein (5016). His energy flows within us (3872), so when we ask God for things, we are tuning into that energy.
God works through us (817); not against us (479) -

God works through us (817); not against us (479)That is very true. And i'll add something different
The point of asking God for things is that IT TRIGGERS YOURSELF. All the belief and trust you have accumulated through your life on GOD, will be put into what you're asking for. Thus the stronger your belief and trust on GOD is, the stronger your prayer/supplication/invocation is. The respond will be in and around you. Your mind will find ways to make it. GOD willing.
2186 And when My servants ask you, concerning Me - indeed I am near. I respond to the invocation of the supplicant when he calls upon Me. So let them respond to Me and believe in Me that they may be guided.

Re asking God for things.
There is no doubt that turning towards God is beneficial, to call upon etc. However, I am reminded of the wisdom
"I prayed for twenty years but received no answer until I prayed with my legs" ~Fredrick Douglas
Similar to 1311 "...God is not to change what is in a people until they change what is within themselves...."

Has the part been added? I ask simply because without it that verse makes more sense.

Thanks! ) It's Sahih International translation. I usually erased every added words in parentheses--missed that though.
So, let me...

Very Important Point. Pray, respond, move.
