“Although I’m an atheist, I try not to crap all over people’s belief in God.

I think some people simply need to believe that God is sending them reinforcements, to get through another day.”

“Pray each morning and each night.Talk to God and be polite.Tell Him what you’re grateful for.Leave your troubles at His door.Share your wishes, needs, and hopes.Ask God how to bravely cope.Tell Him all you learned today.Say the things you need to say.Beg forgiveness for your sins.Pray to live with Him again.Speak with earnest heart and soul.He will listen. This I know.For prayer is hope put to the test.And hope is faith in what is best.Faith is power to do great things.Thus, prayer is faith’s enabling wings.”
