A SIMPLE PRAYER

      A simple prayer

      Like a clear wire,

      Connects you to your source of supply

      Where your extraordinary resource is divine.

      In prayer you light a candle of hope,

      Even at a time when darkness is all to behold;

      Then a kindle of strength will eventually emerge,

      Taking you from living on the edge.

      It can be a light whisper or a quiet cry at any hour,

      Where there is no pressure or appeal for answers;

      It could be a short statement not in repeating of words,

      But a gentle conversation with our ever-present God.

     This divine dialogue provides incredible power

     And the change will make you feel lighter,

     Like the opening of a blooming flower

     When you say a simple prayer.
