A Moment of Silence Or Prayer
A Moment of Silence Or Prayer?
Many choose a moment of silence instead of prayer.
If they talk to God… They don’t seem to care!
It seems to be common at many observations.
To neglect man and God kinds of conversations.
What will silence accomplish? What is it’s goal?
To silence the emptiness in an individual’s soul?
Are we worried about who we’ll upset or offend?
Are there any who call God their friend?
When we have situations, that need to be taken care of...
Let’s not be ashamed to have a prayer to speak of!
Let’s not be silent, when we have words to say.
Let’s get with God! And the time to pray!
May the words we speak ring loud and clear!
God is always listening! We’ve nothing to fear!
Let’s take the time to have a heavenly reminder.
God is listening. And doesn’t need a “timer.”
His word reminds us that we can always trust him.
Prayer is a way to let us know that we need him!
Please come dear Lord and touch us with your fire!
So that spending time with you, will be our desire!
May we speak to God as our hearts are broken…
May he be honored in what’s said and spoken!
