Not true at all. God gave you free will to be what you’ll be and do what you do, right or wrong.

Spend time bettering yourself and improving your situation or spend it in other less beneficial pursuits, it’s your call.

God never made anyone successful or anyone poor, you do that yourself. God has nothing to do with the fact that most people lack the drive and discipline to succeed. Grace doesn’t apply.
