Spoken at many critical life and death moments, the phrase “it’s ok” often belies the actual situational reality. Conceptualizing “it’s ok” as a form of prayer, the present paper considers how to understand the paradox of claiming that things are “ok” or “acceptable” when they clearly are not. The conclusion is reached that “it’s ok” as a prayer intends to tell a story of hope that recognizes and points beyond the frailty of the human condition
