The Preference Between Seeking Sustenance and Congregational Prayer

Question
Which is more important, congregational prayer with the appointed imam or seeking sustenance?
Answer
I say, and with God's help: Seeking sustenance takes precedence over congregational prayer; because it is an obligation, while it is a Sunnah, and God knows best.
