                    [Summary] => In The Ear, December 2, 2005 issue, you asked if anybody has the answer to the question.  "Why is it that in nearly all prayers where the faithful seeks divine help, the help-seeker never says "Please, God" or "Please, Lord"?


I wish to offer one possible explanation to this.

By putting "Please" in front of a prayer, the help-seeker presupposes that God may not grant him/her His blessings. With the word "Please," his/her prayer becomes an expression of doubt.
