| Article: | BROWN: Prayer stops a panic When I was a young girl, I'd ask God every night to watch over my family. I dutifully prayed for each member by name, fearful that something terrible would happen if I forgot, because when you're a child, the world and all that goes on in it revolves around you and your actions. I also prayed for world peace and an end to hunger and suffering - things haven't much changed in 35 (or so) years - and I truly believed my little prayers could save the world and all who were in it. |
