Beloved you only pray in times of stress or need. <br />Forget not to pray for the joy and abundance you already have. <br /> <br />Prayer is but the expansion of your self into the Cosmos. <br />If it is for your comfort to pour darkness into space, <br />It should also be your delight to pour out the dawning of your soul. <br /> <br />If you cannot but weep when your soul summons you to prayer, <br />Trust that after weeping you shall find laughter. <br /> <br />When you pray you rise to meet in the air others who pray. <br />And you recognize each other in sweet communion. <br /> <br />Know that when you enter prayer with no other purpose than asking, <br />For the sake of asking you shall not receive. <br /> <br />Be invisible and pray not before men. <br /> <br />Beloved I cannot teach you how to pray with words as, <br />You have but to allow God to speak through your lips. <br /> <br />If you but listen to the stillness of the night you shall hear; <br /> <br />“Father your will is our will” <br /> <br />We need not ask for anything, because you know our needs before us. <br />Father you are our only need, for in giving of yourself you gives us everything. <br /> <br />(Inspired by Kahlil Gibran) <br /> <br />ROTMS <br /> <br />View more writings, images and video at; <br />rotms.blogspot.com<br /><br />Ray Lucero<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/prayer-153/
