Like Albert Einstein, I am a believing unbeliever. I can make the journey in some kind of faith, never quite convinced of a God-filled eternity or place of spiritual rest. So I never pray ‘for’ something, I don’t ‘ask’, because I don’t actually believe that there is any ‘force’ that can supply what humans are perfectly capable of doing for themselves if they are prepared to sit out a crisis and wait in a spirit of intelligence before they take action.
