“So He punished the girl with continued blindness because the folks around her didn’t pray hard enough? “

Don’t forget, there were times that even Jesus was hindered from doing miracles. Mark 6:5-6 says “And He could do no miracle there except that He laid His hands on a few sick people and healed them. And He wondered at their unbelief.”

It wasn’t God’s fault. He wasn’t punishing her. He just didn’t have enough prayer to break through.

Jesus told us to pray, “Thy will be done on Earth as it is in Heaven.” He wasn’t just saying stuff. If we don’t pray, then yes, things don’t happen. The Father NEEDS our prayers to have a free hand to work.

Jesus was only hindered because the people refused to come forward and present themselves because they didn't want to believe in Him. He performed miracles on fish and food among people who had no idea what He was doing. He performed miracles on people who had no idea what He was doing either.

But I guess you need an excuse why your shamanism doesn't work.
