jo kus, the point of my original post is that no matter the differences of opinion regarding the issue of whether the will is truly free or enslaved, nearly everyone (free-willer or not) prays as if it all depends on God, and that that is significant.

OK. I am reminded of a line by St. Ignatius of Loyola, the founder of the Jesuits.

"Pray as if everything depended on God."

"Do as if everything depended on you."

Sorry if I didn't catch your meaning from your original post.
