Help

 If you have trouble with prayer, don’t believe in much of anything, but have troubles in your life that you cannot seem to control or be rid of, why not just say, “Help.”  That’s it.  That is the prayer.  Requires no faith in a god of religion.  Repeat the one word, “Help” as you go through the day.  Someone said they did this, and then one day added, “Me,” and then another day added, “Please.”  They did not force these added words.  They just came as a notion.  See what might change in your life.  Prayer does not need faith.  It does need for us to get out of ourselves as the center of our thoughts.  If not focused on yourself you might notice a suffering world around you, as in “other” people and situations.  You might discover a bit of compassion, a notion to be helpful.  It is awfully difficult to be overwhelmed by our own troubles when we are helpful to persons outside of previously self-focused self.
