Pray

I have wondered at times what it is people pray for; to lose weight, a new job, a better car, stocks that soar? Do they pray for the down and out, the homeless or the needy? Or are their prayers more personal, a bit more greedy? - But who am I to say, to judge? As if my own record had no smear, no smudge. When was the last time I prayed for all those without? When did I offer to selflessly help out? - Perhaps my own ponderings that I entertain should have more to do with others needs and less with my own gain. Though I do still wonder what it is that most people who pray pray for, now mostly I wonder why it is that I myself don't pray, a whole lot more.
