How To Pray, When You Don't Know How

The story is that a gentleman, walking by one of the beautiful hedge-rows in England, saw a little lad on his knees and, pausing a moment, heard him repeating his letters: "A, B, C, D, E, F, G." So the little fellow went clear through the alphabet and when he had completed he began again: "A, B, C, D," etc., to the end, and so he continued until he had repeated the alphabet perhaps half a dozen times, after which he said, "Amen," and arose. The gentleman, puzzled, said to the little fellow: "Why, my boy, what have you been doing?" He replied: I was praying, sir." The gentleman said: "Praying? But you were only saying your letters over and again." The lad answered: Yes. I don't know what to ask for, nor how to ask, so I thought I would say the letters to God a good many times and ask Him to put them together the right way Himself."
