Not necessarily. At least not to the point where you're hoping God will do it all. Reminds me of the lottery joke where some guy is whining to God that he's never winning, and God says ... "Maybe you should buy a ticket." But yes it is a trap that some theists can fall into. Leave it all in God's hands. Usually very little happens than.
