In fact, there are even logical and moral limits to God's power - including His power to answer prayer).

There are no limits to God's power.

You are, of course, entitled to your opinion. However, it would have been nice if you had provided some logical argument to support it, rather than simply stating it as though we should accept it as an unfalsifiable axiom.

In contradistinction to Kalâm thinkers, philosophers agree that God cannot violate the laws of non-contradiction. According to Maimonides, all are agreed that even God cannot make it be the case that contraries can come together at the same instant, at the same time, and the same place; nor can God effect the transmutation of substances (from accident into substance, or substance into accident, or substance without accident). Nor can God bring into existence another omnipotent Deity, nor can God annihilate Himself, or become a body. These are all instances of logical impossibilities and "the power to do any of these things cannot be attributed to God" (GP 3.15:460). Where philosophers disagree is over more ambiguous cases, such as creating an accident that exists alone without a substance, or creating a corporeal thing "out of no matter whatever." The former example is adduced by the Mu'tazilites as possible, while the latter is adduced by Maimonides himself as possible, but by the Aristotelian philosophers as impossible. – Maimonides, by T.M. Rudavsky
