Two ways to pray

How do you pray? I don’t mean to ask about the God you pray to or the physical stance that you pray with- hands folded/ kneeling/ eyes closed/ palms open etc.

I am interested in the language you use when praying.

When you talk to God, are you thankful for everything that you have or do you complain and ask for that which you ‘rightly deserve’ but haven’t received yet.

The way you express yourself while praying is the same way you express yourself to the world. You are either thankful or complaining.

Even if you don’t pray to any God, you will realise that there is a common theme to the language you use.

Once you realise that this is the case, the question to ask yourself is- Is there a different language to use that will help you appreciate your life? Do you actually have less or is what you have lessened by your outlook towards your experiences?
