A Short Prayer

“Oh God, I am here.”  Now on the one hand you might not be too sure of who or what this God is, or else you are real sure, dogmatically, in which case, this is not God.  God is not a dogma or a thing or an “It.”  So why spend time thinking about the first part of the prayer?  I think it more important to question whether you are really “here,” as you say.  If you are consternating about God then you are really not here, present to your body being present.  It is a short but deep prayer.  Once you truly enter into it, free of thoughts, but present being here, good things can happen.  It can take a lifetime.
