Last night I was saying my prayers when I suddenly <br />realized Satan could probably hear me just as easily <br />as God could. He could be listening to what I was <br />telling God and could use it to trip me up. <br /> <br />So I think we should all stop praying out loud. <br />We’re only spilling the beans to Satan. <br /> <br />Instead, we should just “think” our prayers. <br />Actually, I’m not sure that’s a good idea because <br />maybe God will have a tough time differentiating <br />between our prayer-thoughts and our regular <br />thoughts. They do have a tendency to get all mixed <br />together. Besides, thinking your prayers doesn’t feel <br />very participatory. <br /> <br />I guess we could just mouth our prayers without <br />making a sound, but what if Satan can read lips? So <br />maybe just go ahead and say your prayers out loud <br />but just keep your mouth shut while you’re doing it. <br />I know, I know, it will sound unintelligible, kind of <br />like you’re gagged: Mmrrf fmnr rffm! Can you <br />imagine a whole prayer like that? I hope God can <br />decipher it! <br /> <br />The alternative is to simply pray like you normally <br />do but throw in a bunch of lies and fake desires to <br />throw Satan off the track.<br /><br />Professor Poetry Hound<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/eavesdropping/
