So this is what I am going to do. I shall recite the alphabet five times very slowly and You, to whom all prayers are known, can put the letters together to form the prayers I can't remember."

Hey god, I’ll make you a deal. It reminds me of the story of the guy who promised to give all his money to god if god would save his life, and then after he was saved had seconds thoughts about the seriousness of his predicament, and reasoned that he would have probably lived any way, but his conscience began to bother him so he took all his, money and threw it into the air and told god to take what he wanted, and any that fell back to earth he would keep.

If the idiot in this story was smart enough to know the alphabet, I would have thought he could have remembered one prayer.

Any idiot that could come up with a deal like that and yet didn't know enough to ask God for help, deserves to be stuck in the woods with a flat.

If he couldn't remember one prayer, he must have really been sincere when he was vainly mumbling his way through the book normally.

I think that post like this are pathetic, it sends all the wrong messages to anybody reading it, but if you were a pansy, it might give you a warm fuzzy feeling.

JHavard, I suspect that you didn't get the point of D-fender's #32 . I think it brings to mind Paul's message that "the Holy Spirit will provide prayer with groanings ..."or something like that . (I'm not a real scholar, so I can't do chapter and verse) That is, that you don't have to have a bunch of flowery words to make a prayer . It has to come from the HEART .
