prayer is therapy

This page is from my personal notes, and has not been specifically reviewed for public consumption. It might be incomplete, wrong, outdated, or stupid. Caveat lector.

Prayer is a form of therapy.

It's about clarifying your values: figuring out what you really want so that you can ask God for it. and of course not making this anything too specific or impossible, because you know not to ask too much. so you figure out small things, or subtle things, that are still representative of your deep desires.

In particular it's about giving you an audience, an imagined interlocuter, to force you to clarify your thoughts and values.
