Funny Prayer Poems
A light-hearted approach to prayer can often help us connect with our spiritual side in a more relaxed way. In this category, we’ll explore some interesting poems about prayer that are sure to put a smile on your face.
1. The Writer’s Prayer
by Joe Dimino
I like to think
that poetry
has intrinsic value
above and beyond
the actual craft…
That the origins
of poetry’s meter
and rhyme precede
each preliminary
draft…
That something, perhaps
even spiritual, transcends
the fore-and-aft…
And when the writer
thinks to scuttle
a work, as often
inherently we do,
always
may there be angels
floating him
a Literary-raft….
2. Haikus About God: III
by Dan Keir
Beauty of nature
Why condense it down to God?
Isn’t life enough?
teacher, time, write
3. Haikus About God: V
by Dan Keir
Omniscient guy
Yet he lets bad things happen
How can he exist?
4. Falling Snow
by Marvin D. Schrebe
Outside the snow is falling
The children are sleighing
Sometimes they start snowballing
Outside the snow is falling
“Dinner is served”, their Mom is calling
The children don’t hear what she’s saying
Outside the snow is falling
The children are sleighing!
5. Menopause Prayer
by Mike Dailey
Now I lay me down to sleep
I pray the Lord for no more heat
For if it comes, I’ll be awake
I pray the Lord, don’t make me bake
I’ll even get down on my knees
And pray the Lord “Lord, pretty please”
Please don’t turn my furnace on
My flesh is weak, my patience’s gone
I haven’t had a good night’s sleep
Since menopause turned on the heat
And it’s no good Lord, counting sheep
If into fire, Lord they leap
So Lord, please grant me this request
And take this fire from my chest
Let someone else be thusly blessed
And let me finally get some rest
6. Aliens at Your Bedroom Window
by Dan Keir
Don’t worry now child
There’s no god, so worship space
You are not alone.
7. Death of a Salesman
by Tony Lane
Christmas comes just once a year
And that should be a blessing,
It’s not the birth of Christ I fear,
It’s the shopping that’s so depressing.
They now fire off starting guns,
To start the spending is their goal.
But the news stories that the TV runs,
Report the shopping day’s death toll.
It seems the shoppers who wait up front
In these times of greed,
In order to get the gifts they want
Are willing to make you bleed.
So say a prayer and get out of the way
For its civility that we clearly lack,
We used to call this “Shopper’s Friday,”
But you see now why it’s called black.
8. My Confession
by Rudolph Rinaldi
I am led by desire
I desire this
I desire that
I desire everything
that all my friends’
have and desire
because
someone else has and desires it
God
I know I have no use
for most of it
but I must have it
I desire life
but not death
for the fear of it
I desire life because
most my friends have it and want it
and fear death because
most of my friends fear it
God
when I am dead
maybe I will desire nothing
because all my dead friends
will most likely desire nothing
and hopefully
we will most likely have no use
for any of it
then God
what will become of it?
9. The **** Star Prayer
by Warner Baxter
Lord,
We do give thee thanks for the abundance
That is ours in glorious nudity
Even though some of it is saline
And some with silicon
Bless each and every one
~~~
Tell your mind what your body
already knows
~~
Understand this,
They wanna be you, they wanna be just like you
Because right now, you are the sexiest
Woman on God’s green Earth
Amen?
10. Behind a Vegan Moon
by Rico Leffanta
No one likes dead lettuce
It must be crisp and cool
And dousing wounds with vinegar
Is certainly not cruel!
For Vegans can not see
Why lettuce choose to be
On a different frequency
Than Donald Trump might be
A salad will pass away
Shivering with cold today
Disgusted Vegans will say,
“I never heard lettuce pray”

1. The Prayer of Saint Francis
Lord, make me an instrument of your peace.
Where there is hatred, let me sow love.
Where there is injury, pardon.
Where there is doubt, faith.
Where there is despair, hope.
Where there is darkness, light.
Where there is sadness, joy.
O Divine Master, grant that I may not
So much seek to be consoled as to console,
To be understood as to understand,
To be loved as to love.
For it is in giving that we receive,
It is in pardoning that we are pardoned,
And it is in dying that we are born to eternal life.
2. A Prayer for Serenity
by Reinhold Niebuhr
God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change,
The courage to change the things I can,
And the wisdom to know the difference.

Enjoying one moment at a time,
Accepting hardship as a pathway to peace,
Taking, as Jesus did, this sinful world as it is,
Not as I would have it,
Trusting that You will make all things right
If I surrender to Your will,
So that I may be reasonably happy in this life
And supremely happy with You forever in the next.
Amen.
