                                                        Never More than a Prayer Away    

                                               Always is it true that I meet issues in life with fear and anxiety.

                                                    Uncertainty and depression live as companions of doom and defeat,

                                                    draining my interest and vitality, leaving me in a state of sadness

                                                    and despair.

                                       Feeling ever alone in this world, my challenge is to survive even when

                                       confronted with forces of overwhelming power.  Yet I know that living

                                       life alone stands beyond God’s plan for such a concept of mind and

                                       heart undermines my gift of life with lack of purpose.

                                        So it is that I stood with confusion and lack of conviction, asking in

                                        prayer if the darkness of foreboding shadows is to reign supreme in

                                        my life to its end with no hope for a tomorrow.

                                        In answer to my prayer the lyrical call of a heavenly harp lifted my

                                        eyes, and from the sky above floated down the embracing comfort

                                        of God’s support and love instilling in me the Holy knowledge that life

                                        ends only when you stop dreaming, that hope ends only when you

                                        stop believing, that friendship ends only when you stop sharing, and

                                        that love ends only when you stop caring.

                                         When I dream, when I hope and believe, when I share and care and

                                         love, I live with God’s purpose.  And because of that knowledge, I

                                         know that there is a Holy purpose in my creation and that I am never

                                         alone for God is everywhere and never more than a prayer away.

                                         Yes, living life alone stands beyond God’s plan for such a concept of

                                         mind and heart undermines my gift of life with a lack of stated purpose.

                                         Indeed, there is a purpose in my being.   God has a plan for me.

                                         When I dream, when I hope and believe, when I share and care and

                                         love, I live with God’s purpose for me.  And because of that knowledge,

                                         I know that there is a Holy purpose in my creation and that I am never

                                         alone for God is everywhere and never more than a prayer away.
