The Noncommittal Sunday Prayer

God in Heaven, if you really do exist and reside in such an eternal residence out there, somewhere.

Please guide me in my times of need, but not if that guidance comes at the expense of others, or if such times of need don’t fully justify it — I’m unaware of what future support I’ll require, so keep that in mind.

Give me the strength to follow your will, if there’s a perpetuity to life after our death that truly justifies the need to do so.

Bring health and happiness to my family and friends, as long as such gifts are within your domain of influence and don’t conflict with previous furnishable requests already on your agenda.

Help those unable to help themselves, unless you have different plans for them or think some other course of action on your part is warranted.

Enjoin the world to peace and joy, though as you may or may not know, I don’t expect miracles.

Amen, or not.
