...A man prays to God with fervour: 'Dear God, this week, please, make we win the lottery!' - He doesn't win a cent, and so, a week later, he prays again, with some more fervour: 'Dear God, this time, please, let me win the lottery!' - Again, he wins nothing at all. So, he prays again, this time with urgency, if not with even a trace of impatience: 'Dear God, but this time, please, finally make me a winner of the lottery!' - Suddenly, there's lightening in the skies, thunder begins to roll, and an awesome, commanding voice speaks out of nowhere: 'My son, come on now, meet me half way: Buy a ticket!!!'
