The translation of this Haitian proverb would be: "There is no Prayer without an Amen."

In Haiti, people pray a lot and continuously until their prayer has an answer. During that time, they suffer emotionally, mentally, and sometimes physically. When their prayers are answered, they stop praying about the subject. They are relieved, happy, and they do not suffer anymore.

Therefore, when someone has any kind of suffering or trial, people, often tell them: "Pa gen lapriyè ki pa gen amen" to support the person emotionally as a reminder that the suffering has an end, it will diminish, and disappear sooner or later.

This teaches us to be patient and gives us hope when we are in any kind of trial, battle, or bad situation. No matter how long it takes, one day it will fade away and disappear.

Therefore, we believe:, " Pa gen lapriyè ki pa gen amen."

In my distress I cried to the LORD, and He answered me. Psalm 120:1
