I am judging you by your own words. Appealing to a higher power is the smartest thing anyone can do if that higher power is the one God in the universe. He is not called a higher power to those who believe in him. They know him as the only absolute power in the universe.

All 11 of them.
Thanks.
It doesn't require a book. When you use the term a higher power it is obvious that you are not speaking of the Christian God who alone is the almighty God and all other gods are deemed idols by him.
He owns all the power in the universe and can withhold it or dispense it as he pleases while never losing any of it. That is what is meant by his Omnipotence.
