To change God? Or to change yourself?
To advise? Or to be advised?
To affect? Or to be affected?
Who are you trying to kid?
Prayer never hurts.
The worst that can happen is that
You'll talk too much and listen too little,
In which case you'll simply
Do what you'd planned to do in the first place,
Regardless of your prayer. Nothing will change.
No harm will be done
Except for that which you would have done in the first place,
Regardless
Of your prayer.
What is the purpose of prayer?
Why aren't prayers always answered?
Perhaps because the person who should be listening
Isn't.
