not a prayer
prayers for those
trapped by
war
prayers to feed
the hungry
prayers to house
the homeless
prayers for those
suffering from
addiction
the funny thing
about prayer
is that without
action
they are a lot like
a car without an
engine
they just don't
go
anywhere

Yes, buddakitty, nothing happens without action. People like to pray about stuff, but unless there is ignition, nothing happens. It cannot, as prayer is only words strung together. Nothing, but nothing happens without action.

Thank you, elsiesan. Ignition...what a great word to describe action.

Sometimes, when I hear "thoughts and prayers" it makes my blood boil in ways I never imagined. It's no more than a semi carrying an empty load of nothingness that could actually help, i.e. - food, clothing, medicine, et al.

Yes. That's it exactly, my dear Ahavati. You have hit the nail right on the head
