   It's okay to talk to God no matter what state you are in.  If you're drunk you can pray.  High as a sattellite?  Pray anyway. Naked for reasons you care not to disclose?  Pray, pray, pray.  I know for sure that He's the one you can talk to when you are falling apart and he will put you back together in an even better state than you were before you got messed up.  I ran across this in a book called Woman Prayers by Mary Ford Grabowsky.

                                  Dangerous Prayer                                                        

   Deliver us, O God, O Truth, O Love, from quiet prayer

from polite and politically correct language,

from appropriate gesture and form

and whatever else we think we must put forth to invoke

or to praise You.

Let us instead pray dangerously-

wantonly, lustily, passionately.

Let us demand with every ounce of our strength,

let us storm the gates of heaven, let us shake up ourselves

and plaster saints from the sleep of years.

Let us pray dangerously.

Let us throw ourselves from the top of the tower,

let us risk a descent to the darkest region of the abyss,

let us put our head into the lion's mouth

and direct our feet to the entrance of the dragon's cave.

Let us pray dangerously

Let us not hold back a little portion,

dealing out our lives- our precious minutes and our

energies like some efficient accountant.

Let us ask for nothing less than the Infinite to ravage us.

Let us ask for nothing less than annihilation in the

Fires of Love.

Let us not pray in holy half-measures nor walk

the middle path

for too long,

but pray madly, foolishly.

Let us be too estatic,

let us be too overwhelmed with sorrow and remorse,

let us be undone, and dismemebered...and gladly.

Left to our own devices, ah what structures of deciet we have created;

what battlements erected, what labryinths woven,

what traps set for ourselves and then

fallen into. Enough..

Let us pray dangerously - hot prayer, wet prayer, fierce prayer,

fiery prayer, improper prayer,

exuberant prayer, drunken and completely unrealistic prayer.

 Let us say Yes, again and again and again.

and Yes some more.

Let us pray dangerously,

the most dangerous prayer is Yes.

-Regina Sara Ryan
