Prayers won't help, what you need is a good mechanic who'll validate a replacement engine is in good shape.
The interesting thing is, these engines don't typically go Tango Uniform with so few miles on them; did you run it low on oil or something?

the J series engine is know for last more than 300k miles if maintain properly. How does you know or suspecting the engine is toasted?
