Regarding Jabezs Prayer I will say at once that I am a very poor Christian and indeed a bad man. My besetting sins are many and the least of them are the fleshlier ones the really deadly ones are pride and intellectual arrogance. But I can honestly say I have never sunk to confusing prayer the souls colloquy with the Creator mortal mans dialogue with the Deity with magical incantation and the ritual of the spell.
Our love was covered in fur yet I was the only one who wanted to pet it.
