What do we pray for?

Written by Dalton McGee in Educational at September 1, 2010

I heard this song while driving back from my grandmothers. I usually have a great disdain for country music, but this song takes a new approach to the “I’m praying for you” crowd. It’s called “Pray for You” by Jaron and the Long Road to Love.

Now, I personally wonder what’s more offensive to people. Praying for bad things to happen, or not praying at all? Atheists already are the most hated minority group in America, but is our lack of praying really worse than praying for the death of an ex-girlfriend? Either way I think it’s funny.

Sweet nonexistent Jesus, Dalton! From my personal aesthetic perspective, that is literally the worst song I have ever heard. Thanks for giving me an experience I can never unhear!

The premise is silly, but it probably just points out that many believers don’t take prayer as seriously as they are told they should.

It just sounds like any other Contemporary Country song.
