A Prayer For Owen Meany Novels & Stories

"I don't think I'm in the mood for wishes." "Say a prayer then. You never know." I wasn't in the mood for prayers as well, but Raine seemed too eager to watch me. So I got a lighter from the rack, and lit the candle. Closing my eyes, I wondered what to pray about. Was it possible to bring back a dead man? Should I pray for my own healing? I wasn't even sure I want to be healed. 'Help me.' Those happened to be the only words I could think of.

The weight of all those days and years of absence and hatred and suffering, it just wouldn't go away. Mateo pressed a hand to my back and I gulped as I looked at my father. His hands had gone down and I felt bad, but I knew I had to do this on my own terms. "I am so-so sorry, Vera. Every day, I prayed.... I prayed to see you and Owen again." "We are here, dad," Owen said. They must have talked a lot before. I wondered how Owen sounded so at ease, as if he had been with our dad for years. "We are here now with you and not going anywhere."

"Oh No! This can't be happening to us. I'm so sorry for your loss sir. This is really a sad news. Did he say what actually happened to her?" "They are still running some tests to find out what happened." "Oh mine! This is really painful. We have to be prayerful now." I believe in God, but I have never really been a prayerful person all my life. I pray maybe once a year, and I don't go to church. But right now, I know that putting a word of prayer for Mia to God Almighty will really do us some good. There is no harm in trying. I went down on my knees, put my hands together and began to utter some inaudible words to my God in heaven.

Dylan scoffed at her remark, but didn't argue about the part of growing soft. “He needs to know his allies… wait, that nutcase is with you right?” He asked and Owen gave a sick smile. “Who exact…” “That moron, Owen Winters. He's there right, I know you're there, I gave you some days off so don't disappoint me!” Amy made eye contact with Owen, but he just kept smiling, likely wishing that the old man would just shut up. “That's enough, Dad.” “Call me when he's done doing his thing and tell me if he did it right!”

I cleaned myself up first, then I start to pray. "Dear Heavenly Father, Please have mercy on my soul. I didn't mean to use foul language and cause a commotion inside your house. But I was so upset with the commissioner that I couldn't contain myself. I hope you can understand the struggles and pain I am going through. If Chris is with you right now, please protect him and keep him comfortable. Also tell him I love and appreciate everything he did. We could have done more like get married and have children. But I will be with him again once my life is over.

Not ever. Mae, you better be okay or I'm spanking your ass for the rest of your life. Fuck, Lord, please let her be okay. I'd never been the type to pray but right now, that was the only thing I could do. I kept praying for God to keep both her and Wynonna alive. Wynonna was like a sister to me and I couldn't lose her either. They were both special to me. Please let them be okay. You can take my life if you have to. Please just let them be fine.

In that solemn moment, Hans closed his eyes and made a silent prayer to the gods, a desperate plea for help. "Please," he whispered under his breath, "save him. If you're out there, watching over us, please save my friend." His voice trembled with the emotional intensity of the plea, and he continued to watch over Connor, hoping against hope that there might still be a chance for his best friend's recovery.

Her voice was filled with venom, and Chris couldn’t fathom all that deceitfulness into a church. He felt like rolling up his eyes, but was able to craft an apologetic nod. If it were up to him, the only thing he’d be worshiping on Sunday morning was his woman. Oh shit, those thoughts needed to stop. Kiara was not his woman. But damn, she should be.

“Of course, Q. I’m full of brotherly advice.” I roll my eyes. “Too bad it’s not all good advice.” “Hey.” Owen elbows me. “Better me than Weany-Deany.” I laugh. “I haven’t heard you call him that in years.” “He deserves the nickname after the way he freaked out about you and Archer.” “True. He’s coming around now.” Owen shakes his head. “He’s fucking ridiculous. Can you get me water?” “Really?” “Really.”

"And we know we don't deserve your help. But we're asking anyway, because we don't know what else to do. We need a miracle today. Please give us one. Amen." "Amen." Briane and I echoed together. We sat there in silence for a long moment, still holding hands, all of us crying quietly. The prayer had helped somehow, made me feel less alone in my fear. "Thank you." I finally said, wiping at my face with my free hand. "I needed that." "We all did." Rhea agreed, also wiping her eyes. Briane suddenly stood up, trying to shake off the heavy emotion. "Okay, enough crying. We need to do something else to keep busy. How about we check to make sure you have everything you need?"
