In Regard to Prayer

Fiorella is in constant prayer--for herself, her family, her friends, the world, the universe--but she had to turn down Facebook's invitation to "Say yes if you believe prayer works."  The implication was that God is a faucet that one can turn on by constant communication, that you, in effect, you can control God's will if you twist that handle hard enough.

It doesn't work that way--it doesn't work any way.  Prayer is an entreaty, not a guarantee.
