The Essence of Prayer.
Prayer is not the act of kneeling
nor reading the psalms
It is not offering sacrifice and doing penance
It is within us from conception.
Who we are and what we do daily
is touching the untouchable
being part of that which swirls within and around us.
the spirit of God within us.
Prayer's in the wind that blows,the trees that sway
The birds that sing, our very life itself
Even the sound of raindrops that nourishes the earth
nature’s gifts bestowed by His Divine hand.
Prayer is a way of life
The air we breathe, the sounds we hear
every step we take ,the first breath of a newborn,
a handshake ,is a form of prayer.
As the sun shines brightly upon the earth
So too does God's light shine illuminating the spirit
Reach out , immerse your spirit in His love
for that is the essence of prayer.
