(Inspired by March 11, 2014 www.pray-as-you-go.com and Matthew 6:5-14.)
I am alone, yet not by myself.
Words rattle in my mind and fall into the very heart
of the One who Created, Is Creating, and Will Recreate.
Joy!
God is near always:
Jesus sits with me in prayer…
Labors in my work…
Grins when I am laughing…
Joins me in my struggles…
Nods in agreement as I forgive…
Cavorts with me in play…
Sighs with me in hunger…
Touches me as I tenderly reach out to my lover…
Cries at my frustration…
Joy!
The mystery of prayer?
The Kingdom will be found in one –
praying in an empty room,
yet never, never, alone.
