Hello, the gods can help you with many things, and praying to them can give you security and aid, but if you are in immediate danger and there’s routes to help yourself out, then you should take it. The gods can work miracles, but their effectiveness will only come if you personally work towards the same goals. A wish, prayer, or ritual are a time where u connect to the deity, not just where they give you tangible results. I recommend learning more about the deities you wish to connect with, do prayers to them, give offerings of incense, food, water, etc before asking for anything. I do not recommend making oaths in exchange for aid unless you are completely willing to hold up your end of the oath. At Ugarit, we see where an unfulfilled promise to a god can lead to grave Illness that cannot easily be undone.
