Pray With Me

Prayer comes in all forms

Laughter can be prayer

Each moment spent in silence; prayer

Acceptance of shortcomings; prayer

Sometimes we just need to step back, slow down

Expect nothing and accept peace

Prayer is our gift, our time with God

Ready we need not be but rather open

As we move about our day, we need only listen

Yesterday God was present as He is today

Whether it is on bended knee or in heavy traffic

Innately, our heart connects with the Father

Though, too often, we ignore His presence

Hectic our lives have become, yet never to hectic to listen

Moments we have, moments we need to take

Expectations we need not hold for God is already present

Patience a virtue tossed by the wayside

Living has become for the moment

Easy, the path of least resistance our claim to humanity

Attention given to the tangible

Suppressing the reality of the soul

Ego driven, we look no further than wants

Presenting prayer is of no concern

Remembrances of love overwhelm our being

Attention turned to our needs

Yielding not to pride

We attempt to turn back to the Father yet timid

Intimidated have we become for 

Too often we have had the chance to prayer and turned our back

How could the Father want our closeness?

More often it is out of fear that we do not return to Him

Even more often it is out of laziness

Prayer, our bridge, our security blanket

Learned in the ways of faith we have become

Etching into the heart the Father’s words

Attention turned from human interest to the

Sound of the soul, the voice 

Echoing within our being

Pray, come be with Me

Remember our closeness, remember My love

Always I will love you

You are My child, My soul

Will you listen, will you please come home

Insist, I must, that we reform our bond

Together, you and I, for always

Home is the two of us together

Me and you

Experiencing peace, living hope, fulfilling love

Prayer, this the Father’s wish, closeness with His children. If we but listen, if we but look we will hear, we will see that all the Father wants is us to pray with Him; for us to be with Him in this moment, in the next moment that He may wrap us in His love, shower us with His peace. If there were but a question of this truth, just look back, just listen; the Father’s words...PLEASE PRAY WITH ME.
