b116 (8.27-1.2023): praying

praying [i]
by a. believer
 
asking god for favors is the game that we are playing
asking god for favors
asking god (we’re)
 
praying
___________________________________
 
let’s be honest for a second: “praying” …is asking a god (who already loves us) to love us… but in a coercive sort of way. 
 

we beg, and (should “he” choose to) he gives us what we want.

wait 

...just a minute…

 
prayer… is one of those insane things that (on one hand) is highly regarded (e.g. “you need to pray”) while (simultaneously) being (overtly) non-trusting and non-believing!
 
in other words:
 

if god really loves you,

you wouldn’t need to beg for what you want.

 

if you really believe that god

knows what was best for you,

and if “he” really loves you,

why beg?

 
do not wait another day
get on your knees, and
 
pray.
