Real Prayer

Categories: Prayer

Real prayer is actually a journey
Into the very heart of God
Intimate communion with Him
And listening to Him through His Word.

A prayerful life is a powerful life
Allowing God to work through me
But if I narrow or close the door
His richest blessings I will not see.

Yet there is a door I need to close
It is when I enter my room
The place where I in secret meet God
Face to face with Him commune.

Through Christ I can come directly to God
A privilege I should always treasure
Sometimes in awe I can only say. “Wow”
But for God this brings immense pleasure.

For God wants to hear that I love Him
He created me with this in mind
If I rest in Him He’ll reproduce in me
His love. Forgiving, gentle, kind.

So I will then be able to share
With my neighbours and those around
The unconditional love they would like
And in whom it can be found.

Every day we need to spend time with God
Leave the world and with the Lord share
Then come out from our special time with Him
Carry fragrance of His Presence everywhere.

Matthew 6:6
