Based on the content and tone of what he's saying, I think he's talking at this point about prayer sessions of some kind that left him physically exhausted. When I was still religious, I fasted for 3 weeks one time in an effort to save my first marriage (it did not work...big surprise...and for some reason I still clung to my faith for another good 5 years or so). If he wants to talk about religious efforts that leave him physically and mentally exhausted (and still don't do shit), he should try that on for size and see where it takes him. The only miracle I experienced was that I didn't permanently damage my health somehow.
Verbatim from the mouth of Jesus (retranslated from a retranslation of a copy of a copy):
"Do not judge, or you too will be judged. For in the same way you judge others, you too will be judged, and with the measure you use, it will be measured to you. How can you see your brother's head up his ass when your own vision is darkened by your head being even further up your ass? How can you say to your brother, 'Get your head out of your ass,' when all the time your head is up your own ass? You hypocrite! First take your head out of your own ass, and then you will see clearly who has his head up his ass and who doesn't." Matthew 7:1-5 (also Luke 6: 41-42)
