It always comes down to a couple of minutes. With what? With EVERYTHING, especially with religious/spiritual events between good and bad. From tefillah to mikveh to running away from the Tuma (impurity) and the urge to do things that we are not supposed to do. Whenever we are in moments that are "make it or break it," it always comes down to a tiny decision that becomes the biggest deal (and that is because of the Yetzer hara). For example, we want to make a minyan at a gate of JFK, and with tefillot to Hashem and general help from everyone trying to persuade people to get in, there is always a decision made that either makes the minyan or breaks it, even if its by one person. One time in Costa Rica, we had 8 people ready for a minyan and because a couple people did not believe that it was going to happen, it did not happen. Even in business, if you are trying to start a business, it always comes down to a couple minutes of your time to avoid being lazy and then the success comes quickly after. 
And this all connects to how much faith/bitachon/emunah we have in Hashem to help us succeed. The Garden of Emunah book really helps seeing how one should view the world. It says that no matter what situation, if we believe G-d can do EVERYTHING and ANYTHING NO MATTER WHAT, then he really could do everything and anything no matter what. Its as simple as that. Therefore, if we really believe in this, then when praying and BELIEVING that your prayer has influential force BEYOND NATURE, then it will come true. But only with 100% belief.

B'H next time when we are in a position where its a nisayon telling us to choose nature over Torah/mitzvot/something spiritual, we will choose something spiritual, because how can Hashem not help someone who (WITH ALL HIS HEART AND MIGHT) really believes in him AND chooses the good?


SHABAT SHALOM!
