Any good religious person believes prayer should be balanced by action.
I don't necessarily think that's true. Especially since prayer is the action. Besides, if one has to "balance" prayer with something, anything, then it kind of defeats the purpose in the first place doesn't it?
"Pray as if everything depends on God, then work as if everything depends on you."

I seem to be interpreting that in a few different ways.
"What [doth it] profit, my brethren, though a man say he hath faith, and have not works? can faith save him? If a brother or sister be naked, and destitute of daily food, And one of you say unto them, Depart in peace, be [ye] warmed and filled; notwithstanding ye give them not those things which are needful to the body; what [doth it] profit? Even so faith, if it hath not works, is dead, being alone. Yea, a man may say, Thou hast faith, and I have works: shew me thy faith without thy works, and I will shew thee my faith by my works. Thou believest that there is one God; thou doest well: the devils also believe, and tremble. But wilt thou know, O vain man, that faith without works is dead?" (James 2:14-20)
