A Rhetorical Rant of Rumbling Prayer

Prayer! Fasting! Prayer! Fasting! Prayer! (Almsgiving!) Fasting! Almsgiving! Prayer!

That was fun, though perhaps I should have used all caps... eh, whatever.

Having fun praying? Good, that was the wrong question anyway. Prayer isn’t about fun, it’s about God, duh! (oooh the fun of tormenting my readers with such sharp wit!) Anyway prayer is about God, and maintaining or starting, or (in some cases) restarting said relationship. So prayer is painful when healing, because healing is painful. It is joyful when sharing, because well sharing is joyful. It is loving because, okay you got me, God is love (put that in your pipe and smoke it! Then send some to me, in a pipe please).

Some people find it hard to pray at times because of distractions, I say distractions mistractions(?) all you’re doing is trying to talk to an omniscient, omnipotent, and above all invisible God, it’s not like it’s brain surgery (although I’ve heard some mumbling about how that can help with hallucinations). Some helpful tips, religious art (this is especially useful for conversations that might cause others to call the happy hotel for you (why the happy hotel? They give you shirts so that you can hug yourself!!!!!!!)), quietness (yes still in the helpful tips list), honesty (He knows your pain and is there to listen), work at it!


!!!!!! ;-)



Where was I? Oh yes prayer, such a lovely state, no representatives in congress though (like Puerto Rico only a state not a territory). Prayer is a way to transform spiritually, it doesn’t do much good going through the motions. The final note is acting on your relationship with God.

God bless, (! <3)
