I don't see any evidence (none was presented) and not anything obvious.

right. You just have to be very particular about what you ask for. Like, for example, I pray every night for the sun to rise in the morning. Works like a charm.

I'm afraid I can't help you then. People who think praying works are non-starters for me.

Good point I had never heard of that parable, (well that I can recall those early years are a little vague ... ) but I like it.

No reason for me to ask it; no reason for God to do it.
