Generic prayers are broad safety nets.
Prayers we pray so we don’t miss anybody.
Ones we send up when our time is crunched,
And we did promise we’d pray for somebody.
Quick one liners tacked on at lunch.
I wonder if they’re effective?
Do you?

Menu prayers are a fast prayer stable.
We appear before the menu and order,
Those things we’re lacking or fighting,
Not only for ourselves but for others we mutter,
These please help her, please touch him, fill in the blanks,
I wonder if they effective?
Do you?

All occasion prayers look lovely,
We can shop at Prayermark for
someone’s words
Grammatically correct and well written,
One’s duty is done, we can move on-not be bored,
Read it quickly and carry on
I wonder if they’re effective?
Do you?
