PRAYERS ARE NOT FOR PERSONAL GAIN…?
We are all broken
That’s how the lights
Get in” Ernest Hemingway
Prayers are not to
Obtain riches or fame
Or for that matter
Personal gain
They are there to
Comfort & ease
The suffering agony
As well as the pain
If one’s prayers
Do not get answered
In spite of all
The begging & pleading
There has to be a reason
Why the answers are not
Forthcoming
Changing religions is
Not the answer
Neither Praying to some
Other prophet will
Help you make the cut
If our efficacious prayers
Have failed
It’s only Faith Resilience
Patience will in
The end will
Help you scale
Though Asho Zarathushtra
Was the anointed one
He was tested & tried
But,He had Faith, Resilience
As well as patience
That’s the reason
He survived
And has Zoroastrianism !
Choicest Happiness
Farida
Very True.
Ushta I practice what I have penned . I do not intend to preach as I believe to each their own. I am sharing my personal experience,
Well written. Thank you for sharing. Prayer does to the mind and soul, what exercise does to the body. Keeping fit as human beings through Good Thoughts, Good Words and Good Deeds!
We could all shed the mantle of racism discrimination Segregation & bigotry & live in peace & harmony
What was the reason why you gave it a thumbs down? Hoping to hear from you. Do pray for personal gain?
