Math Prayer

Lord teach me to number my days
And graph them according to your way
Trusting you to base me in my plan
To complement your perfect diagram
​Subtract the points you do not want from me
But add the values you have set for me
Divide the dividends I possess accordingly
So I can multiply them systematically. 
Draw the lines I have to follow
Guide me properly with your arrow
Because sometimes I tend to be irrational
Yet all the while you want me to be rational. 
Well I learn that life is like a slope
With its ascends and descends that I must cope
Going through such a wonderful formula
Is just like solving problem in algebra 
Life is indeed an infinite equation
Perfected by your eternal computation
And only a minuscule projection
Give thanks and praise your Almighty creation.
