The Rasha"b of Lubavitch zy"a once told his son, the Riyat'z of Lubavitch zy”a, "Getting up every day to learn and daven is all fine and good, but if you don't find a way to help a Jew, it is a 'dry' day. Therefore, you should daven to Hashem to be given the opportunity to do chesed and give tzedakah every day!"
That very day, two men came to the door and asked for a donation for a poor family. The Rasha'b turned to his son and said, "You see! If you really want it, Hashem sends it!"
