Hmmmm...that's an awful "Me-Centered" Prayer there. I'm more a believer in Karma...so I'd be inclined to pray "What can I do to help Someone ELSE today"..& let the "Good Effects" trickle back..whenever they've been earned.
WAS a recent Scientifically-Conducted study on Results of Praying. Cure-Rate was parallel to the Non-Prayed-for Control Group, alas. BUT you can argue it woulda been a Worse Outcome had the prayers NOT been offered, I guess.
"Positive Thinking" DOES generate Better Results. "Mindset" it's called. The diffo between "Half Full" & "Half Empty" is the difference between Optimism & Pessimism. &, of course, if you've got a Dour Outlook, ya haven't got a Prayer! ;-)>
