I don't like this text. Sounds a bit like a magic thing: \"If you do this and that in the stipulated order, then this and that will happen to you ...\" It shall be well with me, I shall achieve all my goals, victory and prosperity will be incoming in abundance, God has confirmed the end of my sufferings, sorrows and pain - oh, how nice - all this shall happen in the year to come - it's promised -

but is this our faith???

I agree. This is a bit on the voodoo side. We don\'t pray because we want God to grant us every wish we desire, we pray because we must - because it\'s necessary for the nourishment of our souls.

Reminds me a little bit about The Secret.
