CAN PRAYERS FIX MY FAULTY WATER TANK?

I discovered that the water reservoir in my house was faulty when I filled it and after some hours the water got evaporated and left an empty tank! We tried our best to trace the leaking point but no way. I sent for a plumber, he came and dug the path for the water pipeline to some extend and there was not trace. With the little effort made so far, the plumber felt we should try and see if there will be no further leakage. For just mere attempt to deal with the issue, I wondered if it is possible for one to solve such a problem without working on it! The plumber said, let's pray, by the grace of God, it may not leak again. I said in my mind, there we go! if prayers can fix the water tank, I should not have call a plumber but, a prayer warrior. So this mentality is everywhere, including professionals that are supposed not to be misguided by such lazy ideology.
When it got a point of sand filling to cover the water pipelines, the plumber and his boy took their shovel, I ordered them to stop. I suggested we should all raise our hands and pray so that the sand will miraculously move down to it normal position. They were laughing at me, asking me how can that be possible?
I replied them that, it is possible in the same manner, we used in arresting the leakage.
However, we supplied water into the tank and monitored for some hours, the water was intact. The plumber was having a feeling of accomplishment but, deep inside me, I knew something is still wrong.
The following morning, there was no drop of water in the tank and there was no trace of where the water escaped through.

I WAS LEFT WITH NO OPTION TO CALL FOR A REAL PLUMBER NOT A PRAYING PLUMBER.
THIS IS HOW MY COUNTRY AND INSTITUTIONS ARE FIXING THEIR PROBLEMS!

What are you praying for? God has already done it for us what is left is for us to do our own part for the manifestation.

Prayer without work is hopeless even the Bible affirmed it.
