I was asked both. Also the reason is that in reference to superficial spirits they say, "If you think positive and work hard, god will support you", and what I want to say here is that if You work hard you get the fruit of it , so why is God who doesn't even exist without deceiving people getting the credit of what you get after working hard that is the success fruit of it?
This depends on whether you are talking about Judaism, Catholicism, or the various protestant denominations. In Judaism, God either sends curses, blights, or woahs for those that don't trust in him. The ones that put their devotion in him get blessing and Grace. In the Various forms of Christianity, by worshiping and giving obedience to the teachings and worship of the Trinity/Jesus's sacrifice, you will be blessed and the fruits of a man's labor will show whether or not they truly believe in the Principle's of Jesus.
The short and simple answer is that in these religions God is seen as being directly involved in the lives of people and only allows what he wills to happen.
