Kneeling

"You know that feeling,
When you are kneeling

Saying prayers,
To that God who cares

For something that your really want,
Hopeful in Him your confidant 

To calm your anxiety,
By rewarding your piety

And lighten your heavy heart,
From blessings prayers impart 

To know that all will be ok,
And that emptiness will go away

With kneeling words unspoken,
From a heart that is open

That we may receive,
All that we need 

But prayer requires a belief,
In God to provide relief 

For those critical decisions before you, 
Or whatever else is a heavy burden too 

When you can’t handle it by yourself,
For some answers aren’t just sitting on a shelf

Life is complicated to understand,
Which is why we look to God commands 

To help us find our way,
As we kneel and pray 

That all that should be,
Will be

Today,
And everyday
