urge to pray - advice/help
RE: urge to pray - advice/help
Prayer is nothing more than silencing your mind to talk to yourself. Nothing Woo woo about it. Same with meditation. I have many books I have written, filled with conversations with myself. I found them helpful.

You should. There are always those dissatisfied with their own personal mythologies, and shopping for an opportunity to buy into another's. Why shouldn't you be the vendor? Speaking of vendors and vending machines. Perhaps prayer wasn't meant as such, but the vendor in question set a bad example by dispensing miracles and mana in response to prayers in the first place. Limited run engagement?
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

Mysterious ways, Rhythm. Mysterious ways.
Even if the open windows of science at first make us shiver after the cozy indoor warmth of traditional humanizing myths, in the end the fresh air brings vigor, and the great spaces have a splendor of their own - Bertrand Russell
