My new way to pray is to say, "Hello, Love."
If I can address the Listener as "Love," it is a listener/power/god I can trust (maybe). There is no gender, no big Authority demanding honor and power. I would've said that was the key part in the past, i.e., why pray if the Hearer does not have power to do anything? Now I pray because I can't not pray. And praying to Love, is what I can manage. And even then, it's a bit scary, so be gentle with me.
