You ask some people to pray
And they have to know for what
As though God must hear from them
As to what a person has got.
God does not need information
So, who really has to know?
More than likely it is they
So that they can tell someone so.
Praying or prying
Which of the two would it be?
Think my friend, when the request is made
And you would easily see.
Prying is my straight-up answer
And I make no apologies,
For God Almighty knows everything
And everything He sees.
If you must know my situation
In order to pray for me
I have no doubt you are prying
That’s what it has to be.
Yes, we can go to God
And intercede on a person’s behalf
But to claim that we must know
Is going down the wrong path.
And it is not praying amiss
If we do not have the details,
Just pray for the person’s wellbeing
And that is not likely to fail.
There is absolutely no need
To deprive someone of prayer
Unless that one is already dead
Or you just don’t really care.
A person should be free
To say if he thinks he should
And not be force to give any details
Based on how we judge.
Pray but do not pry
If the details are not available
And concerning any on social media
Please be very careful!
