What two prayers are always right and always honoring to God?
When we cannot pray anything else, there are two prayers that are always right, always fitting, and always honoring to God. One is “Thank you” — giving thanks in everything, for that is God's will for us. The other is “Your will be done” — the prayer Jesus Himself prayed in Gethsemane, “not as I will, but as You will.”
