Notes About The Poem

Prayer

Power of God touches us through prayer

Restores strength to do things the best we can

A time to receive the Holy Spirit that makes us move

Yielding His love as we climb high mountains



Anytime we whisper it

Lift our hearts and follow His will

We run to Him and ask His help

Amazing graces, He will shower upon us

Yokes laid on our shoulders will be overcome

Soon, we can walk over sadness and trials

We have to learn to totally surrender before we can follow His will- a very difficult job but we keep trying- nice spiritual take. Mohan
