Justin Bieber
These days, natural disasters affect the global community. It seems a ‘universal culture’ is becoming more of a reality. In the past 10 years, I have had many friends and family affected by natural disasters.
When I started learning foreign languages, I was often unsure of what to say in times of difficulty or crisis. The other day, I was happy to see Justin Bieber expressing his feelings toward Japan.
He uses a common expression to show concern:
“My prayers go out to them (the Japanese people).”

There can be two ideas about the expression:
1.In a religious sense, it means to ask a ‘higher power’ (God) to help the Japanese people.
2.In another sense, it means to hope/wish for something to happen to help the Japanese people.
However, either ideas show the speaker’s feeling toward a positive outcome to a bad situation.
The word 'prayer' is the common denominator in expressions of natural English during ‘times of hardship’.
