18 December 2011 - Prayer

"Does prayer work?" many times I do ask
But what really is a prayer's task?
To communicate with God is to pray
I know He listens to everything I say
Communication is of course a two way street
And if I don't listen, how can sin I defeat?
So with God I need to both listen and talk
Only then can I walk as He wants me to walk
Returning to the question "does prayer work?"
It does - otherwise I would have gone berserk
For the knowledge that He is always there
Provides comfort when things are hard to bear
Knowing that He possesses two listening ears
Helps drown out so many of my earthly fears
So I need to remind myself for prayer to make time
Whether I communicate in prose or in rhyme
