Book 38 Page 5
Lord, save us from the ignorant
Lord, save us from the ignorant.
I know that we are all your beloved creatures,
but lord, please save me from your beloved ignorant.
I know that the world is full of many types, all beautiful and blessed in your eyes.
The ignorant, / the power seekers, / the hypocrites,
but could you do something about so many of them coming to my front door!
O Lord, what I’m really asking when I say the words;
“Save us from the ignorant” is;
could you save ‘me’ from them!?
Could you do me this one favor lord?
Save me from the ignoramuses of this world.
They are such a pain, / such a drain on my energies.
And O lord, could you especially protect me from the well meaning ignorant,
for they are of the worst kind.
This I humbly prey O lord,
one of your more enlightened creatures.
