Hoping and
praying

that people
pray and hope

for positive
outcomes, for

people they know
and strangers.

Sadly, I imagine
there are folks

who actually
think they can

outsmart and
one up God.

Thank God that
God is God

and won’t be
played by fools,

people who try
to be God.

Can I get
an Amen?
