It's important to remember that your prayers always reflect your state of life.
In that respect, prayer is a solemn means to raise your life-condition.
And to get exactly the results that you're praying for, it is crucial to make determined, single-minded efforts toward that goal.

Now, if you wish to attain Buddhahood, you have only to lower the banner of your arrogance, cast aside the staff of your anger, and devote yourself exclusively to the one vehicle of the Lotus Sutra.--Nichiren
