The last time I really prayed was when I was 27. My sister phoned and asked me to pray that her son would find his retainer. The same day, there was a horrible earthquake, in Turkey I believe. Something like 1,000 died.
I felt horrible praying about a missing retainer, with all those dead, so...i prayed for each person who died first, and then I'd pray for the retainer.
I prayed sincerely, "God, the very first person that died? You know their name...please comfort their family. Fill them with peace. If they need financial assistance, please provide..."
I got up to the 300s before I gave up. It was really like wee hours of the morning then. I just sort of...realized how silly it was. Like shouting into a tin can and hoping it was a phone.
How about you?
