Pray in quiet

To have God speak to the heart is a majestic experience, an experience that people may miss if they monopolize the conversation and never pause to hear God's responses. Charles Stanley


Poem Artwork

We too many times think prayer is recitation
“Our father who art in Heaven”
 
“Now I lay me down to sleep
I pray the Lord my soul to keep
 
In truth Prayer is a two-way conversation
And not a one-way recitation
 
We carry our troubles to our Lord and make supplication
When things are good we may cry out in adoration
 
But do we ever pray in total silence and simply listen?
I fear not and therefor never truly know of Gods’ opinion
 
I may pray to ask for a better life
One that is free of cares and strife
 
But if I kept silent and listened to his word
The sweetest words, Jesus’ words are thereby heard
                                                                               
Take a moment each day and bow your head
Keep silent. Say nothing but listen to his voice instead
 
In doing so you will better comprehend
It is God who knows our needs and they are Godsends

Karma Bank to Following By Listening by Chiemi

These song lyrics and art are tales, tides and twinkling lights - tunes telling stories of warmth and sun, city and sand, paths that lead, and the coins we can keep in the Karma Bank. Spirit's been bypassed for sorrow, dreaming of a better tomorrow .
