I’m looking for a story ID. I read it many years ago, and it wasn’t new
then. Basic plot: we have a wildly, wildly, WILDLY popular writer of
religious songs who isn’t particularly religious herself but her fans think
she is. Her latest hit has a name something along the lines of “Lord give
me a baby”. It’s a very big hit. And suddenly she has a baby. No
pregnancy. No father. No husband, ‘cause she ain’t married. Big problem
if, when, her fans find out. And then other things start happening. It seems
that she can get anything that she asks for, whether she really wants it or
not, just by praying, which in her case means merely asking God for
something. The story ends with her saying “Lord, give me strength” and
the desk or table or whatever she’s holding starts to break up.
Anyone have any ideas as to what the name might be and who might have
perpetuated it?
