A rangoli (any magic, healing, ritual whatever) that will not affect a
jihad (or any other condition or event). It will, however, change
your relationship to the event (or condition)!

Working up a lotus pattern, beginning with laying out circles, make a
diameter, make a perpendicular, bisect angles, bisect again, bisect
again .... then starting form the center and working out .... the 8
hour process of doing something so beautiful, orderly, strenuous ...
it changes the way you think!

Remember, "experts" insist that the time kids spend playing violent
video games physically changes their brains and the way they think?

Fasting for Ramadan changes one's perceptions, ditto Lent ... many of
the traditional devotions take up enough time and effort to make a
physical change in the person's mind and body. If you do it with an
intent, it changes you a bit! It changes your relationship with your
difficulty.
