What Is Prayer?

What Is Prayer?

Is it measured words that are memorized ,
Forcefully said and dramatized ,
Offered with pomp and with arrogant pride
In words unmatched to the feeling inside ?
No … prayer is so often just words unspoken
Whispered in tears by a heart that is broken ,
For God is already deeply aware
Of the burdens we find too heavy to bear.
So all we need do is to seek Him in prayer
And without a word He will help us to bear
Our trails and troubles – our sickness and sorrow
And show us the way to a brighter tomorrow .
There’s no need at all for impressive prayer,
For the minute we seek God He is already there !
God Bless !
Jan Bagwell

Prayer in its simplest definition is merely a wish
turned Godward .
