Instagrammer:
Be the rainbow in someone else’s storm and you’ll be amazed at how much brighter your world becomes.

Comment:
Sure. I’ll pray for them.

😕
I didn’t comment because I’m trying not to get into fights with randoms on the internet BUT I really want to know what prayer has actually done for anyone except the person praying.

This reads as if they’re saying, “I will think about doing the bare minimum for another person but won’t actually do anything.”

If you’re religious and you make those sorts of comments, especially in the face of traumatic experiences, please know that they don’t come across as supportive and loving.

And I offer this with all the love in the world: religious people need to know that, while your thoughts and prayers are heartfelt, they are not practical. People need you to actually do something.

Being someones rainbow is not a passive activity, it’s is active and in your face.
