Summary/Abstract: The objective of this essay is to inspire reflections on the (non)expressiveness of prayer, which today is sometimes an intersection of the errors of believers and non-believers. An attempt at speaking about prayer situates itself between Heidegger’s: ”Only a God can save us” and: ”The only possibility of salvation left to us is to prepare readiness, through thinking and poetry, for the appearance of the god or for the absence of the god during the decline” and the deconstruction of Christianity conducted by Jean-Luc Nancy, completed with a prediction of adoration as the manner of being and thinking most suitable for our times. The first part of my statement will outline a project of the phenomenological anthropology of prayer, while the second – of its deconstruction, revealing that imploration is a new manner of creative thinking, transcending the intention of cognition towards the creation of the world and meaning.
