To try to pray is to pray. You cant fail at it. Its the only human endeavor I can think of where trying is doing. Reaching out is holding on. Joining in is letting go.

For those who want to pray for me to find God please dont waste your prayers. If you really think God is listening to you then please use those precious moments to ask God to care for the sick and dying and leave me out of it. Im happy without my faith and with living my life in the here and now. Besides thousands before you have prayed for me to find God and it hasnt worked yet. Why would God value your request over theirs

I believe a boy can have anything in life that he wants once he starts working for it. The main thing is not to give up. It makes no difference how tough things get just bow your back keep working and put your heart and soul into it. As you go along your way live a good clean life dont hurt anyone or anything and always be honest. It doesnt hurt to pray a little too. If you do all those things-someday youll have your pony and gun. Youll get help when you least expect it.

This idea is enough to create great frustrations. If I present a problem I expect a solution if I formulate a question I expect an answer if I ask for guidance I expect a response. And when it seems increasingly that I am talking into the dark it is not so strange that I soon begin to suspect that my dialogue with God is in fact a monologue. Then I may begin to ask myself To whom am I really speaking God or myself
