Just a thought on forcing God's will

When people are looking for God's will for their lives, maybe in applying for a job, or a house move, how often do you hear the phrase 'I'm just knocking on a few doors to see which opens!'
Well, how about this quote on the subject - I gave an 'ouch!' when I read it.

If you can't pray a door open, don't pry it open.
