Indeed, Allah will not change the condition of a people until they change what is in themselves.

Quran 13:11

For a person who has no intention of correcting himself, there is no promise of help and support from Allāh.
Instead, this promise is valid under the condition that he himself thinks and does something about it:

وَالَّذِينَ جَاهَدُوا فِينَا لَنَهْدِيَنَّهُمْ سُبُلَنَا ۚ
And those who strive for Us - We will surely guide them to Our paths.

[Qur'ān 29 verse 69]
The pathways of guidance from Allāh open up only when the urge to have such guidance is present.

Take our own existence and its countless blessings for example.
These are not the outcome of our efforts, nor had we ever prayed that we are given such a presence with eyes, nose, ears, and the rest of our perfect body. These are wonderful blessings - and we have them without having to ask for them - alḥamdulillāh.
However, the right to deserve blessings and to become worthy recipients of the fruits of the Divine promise cannot be received without making one's effort to earn it.
Should people keep waiting for Divine rewards without putting in due efforts and deeds, it would amount to nothing but self-deception.

May Allah cleanse our hearts from evil deeds.
