don't pray for love
pray for someone
who'll accept you for you,
don't pray for trust
pray for someone who
acknowledges your flaws
and sees the light in them
don't pray for forgiveness
pray that those who
you have done wrong
receive prosperity
don't pray for freedom
pray for the piece of mind
to make a societal difference
for those who are in bondage
don't pray for affluence, for
your riches are with your Father
don't pray for acceptance
pray that your novelty
impacts the cliché aspects of life
don't pray for the defeat of your enemy
pray for the strength to stand firm
and withstand their persecution
and don't pray against tribulations,
pray that through it all, you are
certain of your final resting place.
