Prayer is Fine, but You must do Your Part
Ok so you prayed
now what
you just going to sit
on the couch and pray some more
you have bills
but you have no job
you have kids
but they are wards of the state
you have wants
drugs, ***** and tattoos
but no way to pay
so you sit and pray
The prayer part is fine
but now its your turn
get up, and clean your house
wash your clothes
Put on something decent
and go out and look for a job
secure a job, and do your best
and climb the ladder if you can
Petition to get your kids back
show you've tried to turn it around
catch up your bills
and save some money
Lay off the drugs
but have a drink in moderation
as for the tattoos fine get some
but someplace you can hide them if needed
Take care of your kids
set them an example
of respect and hard work
and how to live.
Frustrated by people that do nothing to help themselves , just say they are going to pray about it and expect god to dump fortune in their lap
