faith consumerism

if there's anything that makes my soul vomit,
it's people- especially christians- informing
other people- typically christians, as well-
that the reason why they are enduring such
troubles is because they simply
aren't praying the right prayers.
or are lacking the right kind of faith.

how can any of us ever have
the right kind of faith?
how can i tell when i have enough?
will i have enough faith when all troubles
are fleeting away from me?
will i finally be praying the right prayers
when all i experience is divine joy
and no other emotions?

what exactly is the right amount of faith,
and how will i know it's enough?
can you please prepackage it for me,
and put it in a little pill format-
so i can ensure that
i always take the right amount?

i would hate to not have enough.
or the right kind.

(please excuse me,
while my soul wretches.
blech.)
