We don't know it but I should boldly claim that, mankind have been bestowed by God supernatural faculty to change the course of events even without direct and humanly physical intervention. However, that power to change things is an indirect ability and depends on our time investment to develop, strengthen and put into constant practice the formula to make it work. The formula is somewhat challenging because it is based on spirituality, virtue and relationship with God. It is a four-action package that is easy to think or say but actually a little harder to keep up with, especially during the trying times in each of our life when we need it the most. I'm actually talking about the most commonly known act of praying.
The act of fervently praying that goes with strong faith, humility and righteousness is one formula for the power to influence things. I say it because it worked for me in too many different, major or small occasions in my life. I should find no reason why it can't work for everyone else. It works because it is even more powerful than any of the supposed mystic practices such as telekinesis, mental telepathy, magic,etc. The reason it might not work is the absence of any one of the four elements of the formula.
You can pray anytime, but without fervor you already miss one element to make it work. If you don't believe that God will make things work for you when you pray then that's another hindrance to your intentions. If you pray with pride like the the pharisee versus the tax collector in the bible, God will not be pleased. Lastly, but not the least, if you pray for the wrong reasons that is, selfishness, grudge and malice nothing will certainly happen because that goes contrary to the will of God.
The power of prayer transcends beyond the mere physical world. It is bigger than the universe because it comes from God's own hands. His love for us, his masterpiece creation, allows you to invoke that power in a disciplined and measured conditions. He only intends it to be used if it is for your good and without harming the good interest of others. You cannot fool His infinite wisdom to misuse that ability. Therefore, the great and freely available God-borrowed power of man is only as good as God intends it to be. Given that you invoke that faculty, it will often work in an unexpected, non-dictated, surprisingly beautiful and timely manner. God's ways sometimes work mysteriously and perfectly as planned.
