Praying Over Our Food in Public
Praying Over Food In Public Carry on the tradition. Praying over your food in public. Don’t be ashamed of his name. Don’t worry about what strangers say. Carry the cross. You don’t answer to the flesh at the end. Show by example. Spiritual nourishment is parallel. Pass down your value. Be humble at the table....

The Song of the Lonely Praying Mantis
~ Way out there in the meadow where the wildflowers sing Sat a lonely praying mantis, such a funny looking thing From within the petal'd choir came a perfect summer song So, he climbed upon a bluebell and began to sing along His voice, a lovely harmony, now echoed on the breeze To drift above the columbine, meander through the trees The sound so mesmerizing, whisper soft along...

When I take flight, will it be by day or night? Will you see me, even if I am right in front of thee? To fly like an angel I would be, loving you and flying very free. I would like to fly, fly into the bright blue sky. I will be there when you cry, I will help to dry your tearful eye. As...

Premium Member The Atheist's Plea
You stand apart, a shadow in the light, Denying faith, declaring God untrue. And yet, when facing the darkness, your face turns to white, You ask of me, to pray for you. You wound my Lord, with words of sharp disdain, A constant scoff, a reason to deny. ...

I Was,
a desert, devoid of fruition barren, from years of neglect praying for rain. Then you washed over me, and I bloomed Stifled and gasping for affection wanton for connection, but never satisfied drowning in desire. You breathed into me, and I gasped devotion. Lost, foraging for meaning, for purpose a foreigner to love's labors begging for solace. Your star...

Premium Member The Echo Returns Not
When it hurts – when there is hope when in pain, when darkness fades when the light dims, shadows stay falling on the dusk, in silent grief stilling the breath, a troubled night when it feels like the heart is breaking when there is doubt and love is forsaking when the feelings burn like a distant rain when the miracle won’t come, and...

Premium Member Praying For No Tomorrow
One thing I wanted to avoid, Regardless of what it cost, Caught up with me when Your love I somehow lost. I never could've imagined it Breaking me down this way, Leaving me emotionally crippled. This is how I'll always stay. For the rest of my life, Forced into depression's shadow, Never again to reach happiness. Life keeps me at a low. Somehow I'm still breathing, I don't...

Premium Member Praying for Solace
While I struggle to see her point of view, I feel the need to share her truth When she left the room, feeling dark blue I could see pain’s shadow in her youth While I silenced the source of my regret I felt her dreams stifled by distress When the tears came, she’d not forget I thought of the feelings I couldn’t...

PRAYING
We keep praying Let our fate Don't lead us to fatal Faith over Fear We keep hearing We don't let bad vibes come near us. We keep praying For redemption From our redeemer Not deception From our leaders Many deceit Without receiving. We keep praying For grace As we run our race Not disgrace As we lace our shoes Ready to face whatever...
