One thing is certain: That is that the power of belief, the power of thought, will move reality in the direction of what we believe and conceive of it.
If you really believe you can do something, you can.
That is fact.

Prayer are invisible, but if we pray steadfastly, they will definitely effect clear results in our lives and surroundings over time.

Compose your life patiently with the power of faith.
Direct your efforts into this channel.
Once you realize that complaining is useless, you can chant Nam-myoho-renge-kyo in earnest.--Jose Toda

Buddhism for you -- Prayer 16
The struggle we go through to have our prayers answered makes us stronger.
If we were to immediately get everything we prayed for, we would become spoiled and decadent.
We would lead indolent lives, devoid of any hard work or struggle.
As a result, we would become shallow human beings.
What, then, would be the point of faith?
******
There are no rules governing how we should pray.
There's no need to be something we aren't.
******
Buddhism is reason.
Our prayers cannot be answered if we fail to make efforts appropriate to our situation.

Buddhism for you -- Prayer 14
Because Buddhism entails practie, tenacious efforts are required, but these are all for your own sake.
If you want to have great benefits or to develop a profound state of life, you should exert yourself accordingly.
******
Prayer in Nichiren Buddhism is not something with which to merely console ourselves in the face of hardships or a diversion from worries; it helps us create genuine fulfillment from our innermost core and bring about concrete positive results in our daily lives.
******
Even if your prayer doesn't produce concrete results immediately, you continual prayer will at some time manifest itself in a form greater than you had ever hoped.
******
By chanting Nam-myoho-renge-kyo, we humbly praise the Buddha, which means we are automatically praising and reinforcing to the utmost our own Buddhahood.

Buddhism for you -- Prayer 12
Meditation for its own sake is absurd.
Shakyamuni clearly explains that true meditation is not solitary contemplation beneath a tree but playing an active role in society while embracing the truth.
******
Since the thoughts or ideas that come to mind as we chant Nam-myoho-renge-kyo represent issues that concern us at the moment, we should not consider them extraneous.
Instead, we should pray earnestly about each one, whatever it may be .
******
Nevertheless, even though you chant and believe in Myoho-renge-kyo, if you think the Law is outside yourself, you are embracing not the Mystic Law but an inferior teaching.--Nichiren
******
Just as a soft voice can be transformed into a booming voice through the use of a good megaphone, when we chant Nam-myoho-renge-kyo with heartfelt prayer, we can move the entire universe.
