at the simplest pray – v4

What do we say, how should we stand
must we bow, must we kneel or
are we to hold our hands up;
Where should we be, out in creation
or in our prayer closet, alone,
should we be in community
or spending time alone with God?

“Yes” maybe the best answer
to these questions, to the questions,
“How do we pray?”;
Who should pray?”,
in the walk of our lives;
We should pray continually
as God’s Spirit leads.

Every word raised up is a prayer
the musings, the moans,
to the heart of God;
There is no magic formula
no perfect words only
but a model of prayer
was shared by the Christ.

In these words of Jesus, a prayer,
a connection, a turning, in trust
in the Creator, Provider, for all of us;
Each word pointing, leading,
to God’s presence with us;
Providing every word, each moment,
peace, comfort, in our walk in life.
