G --> (P --> A) is not logically equivalent to ~G --> ~(P --> A)

For example:

"If I am sleepy, then I will sleep"

S = "I am Sleepy"
W = "Will Sleep"

S --> W

But let's throw in "If I am bored, then I will sleep"

B = "I am bored"

B --> W

Since both B and S imply W, you cannot say ~S --> ~W because you're really saying

(~S)(B) ^ (~S)(~B) --> ~W, which is not true.

This is why you first need to prove that prayers are only answered by God
