Here are a few thoughts on prayer / great to reflect upon.Prayer is more than simply communicating. It is more than the dictionary meaning or the frail understanding of humanity.
Prayer rises through the defiant lips of the one who stands in the gap for breakthrough. It shouts with declarations of faith and victory in the midst of overwhelming odds.
Prayer whispers in the recesses of emotion of what could be, if only.
Prayer bubbles out in the tumult of sorrow that threatens to engulf. Not always manifested by cleverly constructed phrases, but at times evidenced by groaning and unknown words from the breaking soul.
Prayer grows in the background conscience of the one caught in a web of their own destruction, as they desperately try to navigate through the closing darkness. No longer to be contained it seeps through in simplicity as a cry from the lost soul to a known or unknown creator.
Prayer celebrates the journey and petitions for the path untravelled. It rises around to bring hope and comfort, direction and clarity.
Prayer shows us what is and what could be, it opens us to another perspective and reveals us as we really are. It strips down the layers and builds up wholeness.
Prayer is breathing out the cares and distractions of this world and breathing in the grace and peace of God.
