I strongly believe that there is no meaning to have a faith if you are not doing any kind of work. For example I have a faith in god that he will never hurt me, I have a faith that my family will get the food, and because of faith I am not doing any job any work just setting at home and praying to god. Will it give food to my family, the answer is no. You have a faith that's true but that doesn't mean that you don't do anything. So faith is necessary in the sense that god is always with me.

Yes, meditation plays a strong role in your prayer it make you more close to your god. Always remember in your life that nothing is forever,sometimes it happens that things which are gone will come back but it will be for certain period of time not forever, the things weather live or dead is there in this world has certain pre defined end and end is for sure. Yes, If you know that these is extra money I got and still you take it then it will 100% it will play a negative role just think this situation and place yourself at clerk you will get your answer. I hope this will answer your question.
