This was not
corporate prayer
but we were praying
together
in fervent prayer
private prayer
together
hearts crying out
to God
a cacophony to my
ears
as if a gathering
at Babel
all of our voices
separate;
but this must be
how it truly is
every second in
heaven
individual
prayers raised up
praise and
petitions
spoken out loud
in the sanctuary
all lifted
simultaneously
to our God in
heaven
a cacophony of
voices
lifted to heaven,
to God;
but God hears
each one
each prayer that
we lifted up
to the loving ear
of God
