I would like you to accept only one prayer, and that is laughter, because when you are totally laughing you are in the present. You cannot laugh in the future and you cannot laugh in the past.

And if you are inauthentic, insincere, you can never grow the seed that has been given to you by this great compassionate universe.

prayer cat black
Pounce had it easier than any of us. No one noticed a black cat in the street. He stopped here and there to sniff aught of interest.

prayer wrestling men
It is not that God is stingy and must be coaxed, for He "giveth liberally and upbraideth not." It is that we ourselves are so shallow and sinful that we need to tarry before Him until our restless natures can be stilled and the clamor of outside voices be deadened so that we can hear His voice. Such a state is not easily reached, and the men God uses have paid a price in wrestlings and prevailing prayer. But it is such men who rise from their knees confident of His power and go forth to speak with authority.

Richard Dawkins
