Whilst praying yesterday, this prayer simply flooded into my heart:
By day the LORD directs his love, at night his song is with me – a prayer to the God of my life (Psalm 42:8; NIV).
Prayer is love, and joy,
And light.
Prayer is anger, grief,
And tears.
Prayer means being real
With God.
Prayer means facing
All our fears.
Prayer is simple, short,
And plain.
It means communing
Night and day.
Prayer means living
Hid with Christ
In God, whilst sharing –
Come what may!
Pray continually (1 Thessalonians 5:17; NIV).
