Just got this one.
"The 7 Second Prayer."
Just repeat this prayer and see how God moves! "Lord, I love you and I need you, come into my heart, and bless me, my family, my home and my friends, in Jesus' name. Amen.
Pass this message to 7 people {EXCEPT YOU AND ME}. You will receive a miracle tomorrow. I hope that you don't ignore this. Please let God bless you.
Are we witnessing the birth of an Internet Religion?

Do the right thing.
Change the name in the email from god and Jesus to Zeus and Eris, and send it back to the people you got it from.
Does the fact that it's billed as a 7 second prayer remind anyone else of this quote?
Hitchhiker: You heard of this thing, the 8-Minute Abs?
Ted: Yeah, sure, 8-Minute Abs. Yeah, the excercise video.
Hitchhiker: Yeah, this is going to blow that right out of the water. Listen to this: 7... Minute... Abs.
Ted: Right. Yes. OK, alright. I see where you're going.
Hitchhiker: Think about it. You walk into a video store, you see 8-Minute Abs sittin' there, there's 7-Minute Abs right beside it. Which one are you gonna pick, man?
Ted: I would go for the 7.
Hitchhiker: Bingo, man, bingo. 7-Minute Abs. And we guarantee just as good a workout as the 8-minute folk.
Ted: You guarantee it? That's -- how do you do that?
Hitchhiker: If you're not happy with the first 7 minutes, we're gonna send you the extra minute free. You see? That's it. That's our motto. That's where we're comin' from. That's from "A" to "B".
Ted: That's right. That's -- that's good. That's good. Unless, of course, somebody comes up with 6-Minute Abs. Then you're in trouble, huh?
[Hitchhiker convulses]
Hitchhiker: No! No, no, not 6! I said 7. Nobody's comin' up with 6. Who works out in 6 minutes? You won't even get your heart goin, not even a mouse on a wheel.
Ted: That -- good point.
Hitchhiker: 7's the key number here. Think about it. 7-Elevens. 7 doors. 7, man, that's the number. 7 chipmunks twirlin' on a branch, eatin' lots of sunflowers on my uncle's ranch. You know that old children's tale from the sea. It's like you're dreamin' about Gorgonzola cheese when it's clearly Brie time, baby. Step into my office.
Ted: Why?
Hitchhiker: 'Cause you're f**kin' fired!

Your quote reminds me of my plan to open a retail clothing chain called "unlimited." I could place stores in all the shopping malls, near the "limited" stores.
Which one would YOU shop at?

Depends on the mood I'm in.

There's Something About Mary.
"Just repeat this prayer and see how God moves!" ?
god can move? by prayer?
god moves in mysterious ways taken literally.

In Bath, where I went to University, there was a store called "Anything Left-handed" (think of Ned Flanders' Leftorium). My plan was to open a store called "Anything Right-handed" and have nine times as many customers.
