What Mike posted about prayer is key. Anyone who believes will in time see evidence of its effectiveness. I don't know whether God exists, but I am convinced in the power of belief (prayer).
I ask that you suspend for the moment debate on the existence of God and explore the power of belief. The challenge, to the willing, is this: without being specific, compose a statement or group of statements (prayer) on the order of:
"I believe something good is going to happen for me today. I may not see it happen, but somewhere will occur an event that will, in time, change my life for the better".
The only requirements are these: your "prayer" must begin with the words, "I believe", and you must repeat it every day. If you do so, and eventually something good, beyond your capability to conceive of and engineer yourself, does not happen for you, I will humbly admit I was wrong.
This challenge is a sure win for you. Either you get to prove you are right and I am wrong, or your life gets better.
If you're just going to fan the flame, piss on it!
