L Milton Hankins Poet Quatrain

On Prayer Answered

Some folks say all their prayers are answered
I question their word on this doubtful assertion,
For it clearly would show God is partial to some
Requiring from others, more convincing coercion.

Avery Won October 19, 2021 at 6:42 AM I like to think that G-d helps those that help themselves. Nicely written :) L Milton Hankins October 19, 2021 at 8:03 AM Thank you, Avery. Personally, I think prayer is somewhat overrated, but tell anyone, okay?

Caren Krutsinger October 18, 2021 at 1:26 PM "all their prayers""? Call me Thomas. L Milton Hankins October 18, 2021 at 1:32 PM I'm afraid I'm a Thomas on all this prayer business. Shall I wait for the lightening to strike, or just recant now????

Gershon Wolf October 17, 2021 at 4:48 PM Then again, depends on the quality of the question(s)... Some folks still think G-d is a 'year-round Santa Claus.' :) gw L Milton Hankins October 17, 2021 at 7:25 PM So true, gw, and they set themselves up for disappointment! Thanks for your kind thoughts.
