My Journey to God

Thoughts on Prayer

Prayer I

In prayer
I come open, humbled
Powerless, like a child
Without formula or agenda
Unscripted
Entering it anywhere
Because of the Presence
Of an Everywhere God
Reaching Him
Through love.

Prayer II

Have you ever awakened,
been completely overtaken
by a strong need for God?

Have no particular contrition,
intercession or petition or thanksgiving
to share?

Only to be with Him,
to know that He is there.

This,
This is prayer.
