but prayer's not magic automatically;
the will of God must have the final say,
prayer's real success is still a mystery.
Prayer seems to change the way the future works,
as if the laws of nature are not fixed;
somewhere in God and us the answer lurks,
ours inextricably with His will mixed.
Sometimes He bends true nature's rules a bit,
or with a miracle, He breaks them clean;
He made them, so good nature must submit,
He often grants our prayer to intervene.
O charming God, You let us charm our way
into Your heart when for Your charms we pray.
