When you find true love, may it also come with financial comfort and stability.
May you never have a child who would be counted as a number amongst the many hardened criminals burnt alive via jungle justice.
Instead of having a son who when announced, apprehended and publicly killed as an armed robber would bring you shame and disgrace, may all your children be daughters.
And if it is a daughter that would smear your name in ridicule and drag your heart to smithereens with shame and regret, then may your children be boys.
If your own car will cut short your life and have you die untimely, then may you continue to take public buses.
If getting married would hastily end your life because your spouse became jealous and insecure and hence decided to stab or poison you, then may marriage never be attractive to you.
May your child not end your life, if by chance it is predestined that they would kill you by their own hands, then may you remain childless.
Stories abound of those who travelled abroad and in a matter of months they died because of certain unfortunacies largely dependent on their location, if such will be the case for you, then may your visa stay denied.
May God not give you a blessing that would end your life.
If getting a job in a multinational company whose structural edifice — a skyscraper — is meant to collapse, then may you remain jobless.
May God not answer your prayers as you have willed, but as he knows is best for you — lest you die before your time.
If the reason why you’re currently sick and bedridden for a few weeks is divinely orchestrated and a preventive counter against arrows and forces of wickedness who want you out in the open so that they project an accident that will claim your life, then may you stay bedridden for some more weeks.
I don’t know if these are prayers or curses, but you can tell me which benefits you by saying Amen or Nothing.
For if you know the reason why some of your prayers are left unanswered, then you would know that God loves you.
