 Second-hand anecdote.  A friend of mine tells of a student
who was a believer in Nichiren Shoshu (sp?), in which the
believers chant (a rather hypnotic droning) for miracles.
To show him how it worked, she told him the story about how
one morning she was on her way to school.  Her car broke
down, so she started to walk to school.  Unfortunately, it
started to rain, so she took shelter at a bus stop and
began chanting while she tried to hitch a ride.  Sure
enough, a miracle: withing several minutes, someone picked
her up.
 Sometimes a miracle just requires you to lower your
expectations a little.
