Who Am I to Tell You How to Pray?

If you want a seven-course meal cooked to perfection, enlist a master chef, someone versed in the art of fine cuisine.

If you want a meal plan suitable for living with diabetes, consult a nutritionist, someone educated in planning diets for those with disease.

If you want to keep a family fed, look to a stay-at-home parent, someone who spends years making sure that kids start the morning with a healthy breakfast, packing something tasty but healthy for lunch and preparing dinners suitable for the finicky pallets in the home.

Consider me the latter. I am not a minister, a theologian or a scholar in faith. But at 55-years old (at the time I’m writing this), I have prayed all my life. I pray to begin my day, to end my day. I pray when I’m hopeful and in despair, in times of joy and sorrow, happiness and anger, belief and doubt. I alone and with others, aloud and in silence.

I’m not an expert; I just know how to do it.

This website is non-denominational testament to a life marked by supplication. I believe it has worked for me; perhaps it could work for you.
