"Essential Prayers"

 When the circumstances of life change faster than we can comprehend.

 When the world in which we live seems to be falling apart at the seams.

 When you cannot think of one word to say to a God whose existence, perhaps, you wonder about.

 Then, when words escape you, here are two prayers you can memorize and draw upon to lift to God:

 “Help me, help me, help me.”

“Thank you, thank you, thank you.”

She has a third prayer for those rare times when everything goes just right, maybe even better than you dared hope. Memorize this one too:

 “Wow!”

 God is listening. Every day. Pray.
