I would do the same thing. I would stare at the ceiling and hope that the words that I said made it through some invisible barrier into heaven. It was only after I stopped doing that and realized that God was not some far away being but someone always close to me that I understood what prayer truly was. I also wonder how many are out there that are just praying to the ceiling when a God they cannot even imagine is truly so close.
