If all the prayers in the world ever were collected on an answering machine, how many of them do you think would be begging for something and how many of those would be begging for important things rather than trivial pleasures?

How much of the rest of them would be gratitude prayers?

What else do you think there would be?

What do you think the ideal prayer would look like? Asking for something to help another person, grateful or something else?

Most would be prayers of praise, thanksgiving, and worship.
