Praise, Preys, Or Prays -Wordplay

Praise, preys, or prays? He who prays for others, not preys on others, is worthy of praise. God is worthy of praise, that's why the humble man prays he prays to give praise not because he selfishly wants something. A person who prays, could be praised but not too much, as he could get proud A proud person preys he never prays to give praise to God he always just wants something In summary One who is praised too much gets too proud One who preys on others,is never praised, because he never prays And finally, He who prays, for he who preys, will be praised John Derek Hamilton June 07,2016

There are those who prey and pray. Hypocrites. I know a few of those. No praise from God though. I liked it.
