some bogus made up one? I'd really like to know, however I suspect that there isn't an actual prayer at all, it's just like "good wishes" whatever they are. Talk is cheap.

Well, see, when I was praying for my lottery ticket to win, I added, "Oh, and by the way, please look after people in Puerto Rico, wherever that is. Amen."

When I pray for something, I always ask God to help others, too. Prayers work better if you do that, my pastor says.

3. Republican prayer after a mass shooting

Dear God: Please let my praying in public be a wonderful photo op that I can use next election time. If I don't use the word "gun" in my public prayer, please ensure that the NRA gives me an even bigger check. Oh, and please make sure that none of the victims lobby congress or appear anywhere on stage with Gabby Giffords. In Jesus Christ name, who liveth and reigneth forever, and who loves Republicans more than anyone else. Amen.
