"Prayer and praying make men temples of God. As gold, precious stones and
marble adorn the palaces of kings, so do prayers adorn the temples of
Christ - the souls of believers."

Monks Callistus and Ignatius, Writings from the Philokalia on Prayer of the
Heart.

"Many sorrows shall be to the wicked; But he who trusts in the Lord, mercy
shall surround him. Be glad in the Lord and rejoice, you righteous; And
shout for joy, all you upright in heart!" Psalm 32:10-11

Draw nigh unto God and He will draw nigh unto you.

If that were true then all those spinning the prayer wheels, or
chanting their prayers have all their bases covered.

What a foolish statement.

Or did you take this out of context?
