How many times do you say "God" during the day?

When too many things happen that I can't believe are happening, I call out the word, "God". It's not cursing. It's like "God, please help me understand this". Today has been one of those days. How about you?

    I have pictures of God all over my house, my car and I talk to God all day long.  And sometimes I do swear.  God is my buddy, He can handle it.

    Usually several times a day like when something bad happens -if i forget to tie my shoelaces and trip over them or stub my toe I always say: "if there was a God that wouldn't happen!"

    I assume we all have phrases that we are used to using.  The cultural milieu that taught me such expressions frequently used "G** damn it" as the usual phrase.

    A few years ago, after contemplating the 2nd commandment, I decided to eliminate that phrase from my repertoire. It was relatively simple to do, although I wonder whether "f***" or "sh**" (give me a break--"dagnabit" doesn't have much punch value) was an improvement for those around me, but I suspect God may have appreciated my intent.  (Although I imagine He also might be smiling in amusement as I relate this story.

    As a Catholic and believing in a triune God, and also being used to attributing various functions to each of the 3 persons therein. So interestingly enough, when I pray, I frequently use "Lord"---and thus infrequently use the word "God." 

    Just an anecdote, but it has resulted in a change in my prayer life (for the better, I think) and I am intrigued to see where this may lead. This post was edited by tom jackson at September 7, 2017 10:32 PM MDT

    From an early age, I was taught not to call Him unless I wanted His attention (notwithstanding the fact that He's always paying attention, but I digress), so I don't utter His name vainly or frivolously.
