She knows that life is cycle and the partner in her life will face the same issues someday, but she believes that since she overcame her pressure and struggles the partner will master the same problems if he hopes and prays by Kesha.

The poem also opens up to me that every difficult time no matter the intensity, will not last forever but will have an end if we hope, persevere and pray about it. The author explains how her situation was tough on her, but through prayer and supplication, she was able to overcome the hell she went through with victory and regain her footing.

The author through prayer by Kesha underwent a healing process and regained the control over her life and hopes the partner tries the same. These statements give me hope of overcoming my problems which affects my general wellbeing.
