We don't believe in a God who is a wizard with a magic wand and who will make food appear out of thin air for the poor people we pray for. That's not really how it works. When we "pray for the poor," our hope is not for something supernatural, but for them to be granted some emotional strength to get through tough times...
So basically - you're hoping they will toughen up and leave you the f*ck alone...

So - for somebody else to get off their a*se and help them, so you don't have to...

So that they accept their suffering and stop making a fuss...
