 Clearly, there is a place for faith in our prayers, and on many occasions we hinder our own prayers because we don't pray with any faith whatsoever. However, that doesn't mean faith is a force to harness, that we can simply speak things into existence. Remember when Jesus taught the disciples to pray? He said, pray like this, Our Father in heaven, hallowed be thy name. Your kingdom come, your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven.
