Lamott relates the story of her own damaging childhood in which she and her siblings were encouraged not to pray. In the scope of simple prayers, Lamott believes that seeking help, giving thanks, and expressing awe are the basic three purposes of prayer. In fact, she encourages the reader to not even concern himself too much with the force to which he prays.
Lamott tells her readers that prayer should be kept simple.
Three basic themes in prayer - “help,” “thanks,” and “wow” - are discussed by Anne Lamott in her nonfiction essay collection and spiritual guidebook Help, Thanks, Wow: The Three Essential Prayers. NOTE: This study guide is based on the Kindle version of Help, Thanks, Wow: The Three Essential Prayers, published November 13, 2012.
