It has things, anchor points, that it refers to. A prayer that doesn't have any anchor points at all is kind of hard to deal with. I need your help. And I don't even know where to begin. Again, honesty is more important than prettiness.
Clarity is much more helpful than beating around the bush.
Prayer is supposed to deal with where we are. It's not the language of sanctity. It's the language of authenticity. What I'd like to spend a little more time on a distinction or a difference in styles of prayer which we're not always aware of. One style of prayer, which we tend to think of as more spiritual, says that when we pray, God lifts us out of our situation, whatever it is.
