Then, contemplate on this passage from Prayer of the Frog I: Anthony deMello SJ
An elderly woman who was an enthusiastic gardener declared that she had no faith whatsoever in predic­tions that some day scientists would learn to control the weather. According to her all that was needed to con­trol the weather was prayer.
Then one summer, while she was away on a foreign trip, a drought hit the land and wiped out her entire garden. She was so upset when she got back that she changed her religion.

She should have changed her silly beliefs.
