A ponderable:
A person of faith asks for prayers.
Aside from the secular scoffers, there tend to be two major reactions:
1. Prayers are said sincerely.
2. WHAT IS HAPPENING OHMYGISHOHMYGOSH IS SHE DYING?
I pray for people all the time, some of them with health struggles. Those in my prayers may or may not be facing a cataclysm; prayer isn't and shouldn't be reserved for calamity.
Pessimism isn't a good look.
Reality in prayer is just fine.
That's where hope comes in. Hope for the best. Work towards the best. But reality is not all prayers will be answered in the way we hope.
But we hope nonetheless.
