Except. Sometimes. They don't. And that's good, too. Most people pray
for stupid stuff that would be nothing more than an insult to the
Divine.

I'm not one for prayers of request, myself. If it is the Plan for my
prayer to be answered, then it will be regardless of my speaking the
request. And if my wish is not to be, then it will not be answered
regardless of my insistance.


In either scenario- I choose to Trust. Either I will recieve my prayer,
or it is better that I do not. I'll save my time with my Creator for
prayers of thanks, not prayers of request.
