I think that it might be arrogant to pray for anything other than strength to accept the way things are because if there is a god, who are we to tell this god how to reorder the universe? I think a definition of faith could be the belief that despite everything, despite all the violence, suffering and misery you’ve seen, despite all the disappointments, humiliations and pain you’ve experienced, life and reality as a whole are basically good. And with that fundamental belief guiding you, I think it’s possible to go through life with an open heart rather than with fear and hate.  Now with that said, I don’t claim to have much faith.
