If I throw out a boathook from the boat and catch hold of the shore and pull, do I pull the shore to me, or do I pull myself to the shore? Prayer is not pulling God to my will, but the aligning of my will to the will of God.

When prayer fades out, power fades out. We are as spiritual as we are prayerful no more, no less.
