And Bartimaeus cannot endure even the slight hindrance of his loose garment , but flings it aside , and rises and comes to Jesus , a pattern of the importunity which prays and never faints , which perseveres amid all discouragement , which adverse public opinion cannot hinder . Debi does n't have a date for the prom so she prays to Satan that he give her Jordan , a heavenly hottie whom her best friend is also in love with . Unfortunately , " staying the course " would be a mistake , Eland argues , because the violence in Iraq will likely worsen whether the U.S. " cuts and runs " or " stays and prays . Homer is the sort who regularly displays his religious ignorance ( he calls God " omnivorous " instead of " omnipresent " ) , snoozes in church and prays largely in desperation . Nor does he simply request deliverance from his enemies ; but he also prays that the fear of God may be implanted and firmly established in heart .
