Nancy Pelsoi and Joe Bidem as Cathollics - when you pray how do you 'know' who you are praying to?

Whereas   

Augustine believed there was  supernaturally revealed answer to this question, Derrida does not. 

Althouhg Derrida described himself as a man of prayer, but where Augustine thinks he knows to whom he is praying, Derrida does not. When asked this question once he responded, “If I knew that, I would know everything” — I would be omniscient, God! For as many argue,  who can you possibly 'know' who you are praying to?

Prayer in the view of many is the plea to  God  , whatever that is; is precisely the one who guarantees that the things we most fear won’t happen, for s/he - God’s promises, might not be utterly reliable?

We can alwasy start again if God did not hear my plea, a trope also found in the mystics, a thing is crossed out without becoming illegible; we can still see it through the crossed out scrawl.

Derrida's underlying faith and hope in life is more restless, open-ended, disturbing, inchoate, unpredictable, destabilizing, less confinable

The particular beliefs are more local, more stabilized, more codified, while his underlying faith and hope in life is more restless, open-ended, disturbing, inchoate, unpredictable, destabilizing, less confinable.
