I DO NOT PRAY
Being ill, I have been told
By different people, to pray
In many different ways.
Some say I should make a vow,
Others ask me to appeal to the souls
Of those gone ahead, to intercede;
Holy places, holy water, all have been
Given as means to approach God.
My faith is of a different kind
And so I do not pray at all.
To me it seems He knows best,
And will make me well or not,
As He sees fit. Whatever
The decision, it should come from Him.
Whatever it be, I shall accept
And praise my God for His love and care.
-By Betty Paul Thottam.
