PERHAPS PRAYER IS JUST ANOTHER WORD FOR HOPE

In reality prayer does not produce one iota of insurance.   It is a wish waiting to be filled.  It seems to be a whim of an unknown source whose choice is to listen to or reject pleas for relief from difficult times and pain, especially from the chaotic elements of nature alone.

Dear Ones,

Law sectarian and its idealism divides people into rival political foes.  Prayers increase by untold numbers brought on by supplications for peace from religious hostility.

No one knows how many prayers are answered and how many don't come true. Yet people have been praying ever since cave man first looked up in fear of what he called the "God of the sky."  This anxiety reflects a global mystery never solved to this day.

As a result men–not nurturing women–decided the only way to appease this great force over them was to offer up as burnt offering their own precious infants and youths  (kids) as scapegoats to appease what ever was out there in the cosmos causing them grief and anguish from nature's sources as well as man-made troubles.

Yet, through this early primitive supplication, human beings still get peace from their passion of anticipation.  Often times prayers give us relief from strife and stress.  Whether a person prays or not, hope is alive and well for all Earth's people. The English poet, Alexander Pope, wrote:
"Hope springs eternal in the human beast."
