My Little Prayer to God - Causes & Effects

A detailed Summary of My Little Prayer to God - Causes & Effects

Saying a little prayer to God at every beginning and end of each traveling journey is part of a daily routine that I always do for the past three years. Some of my friends think that I'm being too religious for having this devout attitude. None of them know that there is a poignant experience behind this religious routine.
