The idea may sound stupidly ridiculous, but I wonder, can the word of God (Christ?) be read as an allegory on how it is that prayer works. If you see John 1-3 it says:

In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 2 He was with God in the beginning. 3 Through him all things were made; without him nothing was made that has been made.

I suppose that prayer may work, in its most mysterious form, via the words we think and say to others, such as in the miracle of (intersubjective) consciousness. While humans currently do not have miraculous like technological abilities, it seems our will might conceivably be helpful to the supplicant.

Apologies if this is too biblical in its hermeneutics, but I wondered if the processes I described

1. make good philosophical sense and
2. could be a viable reading of that Bible passage?
