When he prays, Ernie sometimes imagines himself as an unimportant person standing in a great throne room: he’s hoping the king can hear him, but there’s quite a bit of distance, a big crowd of more important people, and a lot of echoes, so he’s not sure. He tends to pray the same things over and over again. Generally, he wants God’s power to help him succeed, keep him and his family safe, multiply his investments, and “bless this food to our bodies, Amen.”
