Only two prayers?

Someone recently told me that there are only two prayers in the world...HELP ME, HELP ME, HELP ME and THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU.
I was taken aback, since it totally omitted HELP HIM, SAVE HIM, BLESS HIM, HAVE MERCY, and so many others that Christians say. I can't believe that people are so cynical and short sighted that they only see prayer as a means for personal gain or a thank you for what they alone received.
I have been bothered because I didn't speak up...so here is my speak up!
If we consider ourselves Christians and realize that salvation is our gift, we also need to acknowledge God's plan for us. "Help me" alone is not a proper prayer. That suggests that we only have to pray when we are in need. What He gives us without our requesting it is more valuable than any thing we can ask for.  Knowing that God is with us in the times we don't need anything and praying daily just to talk ensures our personal relationship with him. Our requests are not always delivered but  they are always fulfilled. To use "Thank you" as a second prayer suggests that we only have to pray when we receive things. What about those times we do not receive what we want, but instead what we need?
We have to see that our faith is totally outside of the box - we are not a vessel for God to fill with grace and stop up, sealing in His riches. We are a vessel that God fills and leaves open so we can pour out His gifts and blessings on others. Think of your soul like a sieve where the grace of God is poured in and the things you need in HIS PLAN pour out thickly. They are the blessings that stay with you,. The water that seeps through the holes is the blessing you give to those around you in His name.
If there have to be only two prayers, how about GOD, HELP ME DO FOR OTHERS and THANK YOU FOR LETTING ME BE OF SERVICE?
Maybe the person who said HELP ME and THANK YOU just forgot to finish their sentences. I sure hope so.
