Endless Sick Prayers to a Sick God

The question I asked decades ago, I am still asking today: Is there hope for our country? Yes, with intelligent leaders! There will never be HOPE, however, if we just carry on endlessly with our sick prayers! After all, daily, weekly, monthly, and yearly - we Filipinos have not ceased to believe and to have faith in the power of prayer. Thus far, however, the result of our endless prayers is only that we must continue to pray endlessly. Indeed, as published recently in the Philippine Star newspaper, it states: "When it comes to prayer, don't hang up - hang on!" In the meantime, if God or Jesus answered our prayers to cure cancer, how come cancer is still a disease that afflicts our loved-ones? Indeed, if prayers were efficient or reliable all of us would stay young, healthy, intelligent, and rich in spirit. But we live sick in a sick society as we remain famous as the Sick Children of Asia - due to, if not because of our endless faith in the sick power behind our sick prayer. Poch Suzara
