Once upon a time there was a man who went hunting.
He was hunting for bears. As he trudged through the forest looking for bears, he came upon a large and steep hill. He climbed the hill and just as he was pulling himself up over the last outcropping of rocks, a huge bear met him nose to nose. The bear roared fiercely. The man was so scared that he lost his balance and fell down the hill with the bear not far behind. On the trip down the hill, the man lost his gun. When he finally stopped tumbling, he found that he had a broken leg. Escape was impossible and so the man, who had never been particularly religious (in fact he was hunting on Sunday morning), prayed, "God if you will make this bear a Christian, I will be happy with whatever lot you give me for the rest of my life."
The bear was no more than three feet away from the man when it stopped dead in its tracks, looked up to the heavens and then fell to its knees and prayed in a loud voice: "Lord, bless this food of which I am about to partake. Amen"
See, praying specifically is very powerful!
