Well, I was trying to be inclusive of prayer in its many forms. If you pray to God, Yahweh, Baal, Mother Earth, Zeus, or a circle of standing stones, it is still a prayer. The object of the prayer does not change the intent. Which brings me back to my "Prayer vs Wish" position: A prayer is asking a [insert noun here] to intervene in the natural order of things on your behalf. A wish is just expressing a desire for things to have been different.
