In "Carry On, Warrior: Thoughts on Life Unarmed," Glennon Doyle Melton shares a perspective on spirituality through a simple prayer framework suggested by Anne Lamott. According to Lamott, the essence of prayer can be distilled into three basic requests: "Please!" for needs, "Thank you!" for gratitude, and "WTF???" for moments of confusion or distress. This illustrates that spirituality does not have to be complex or overwhelming.
The emphasis on these three prayers shows how they can reflect the human experience. They encompass requests for help, expressions of gratitude, and honest reactions to life's challenges. This approach allows individuals to connect with their spirituality in a more relatable and grounded way, making it accessible and meaningful in daily life.
