A Prayer for the Days in Which We Don't Know How to Pray

Praying Hands, Dürer

There are days when I just don't know how to pray.

Days when the right words won't seem to come.

When the right words in my mind, 

doesn't sound right in my mouth.

There are days when I just don't know how to pray.

In days like that,

I found myself murmuring

Quietly,

Whispering,

Over and over again,

From the depths of my soul,

With all my strength,

With faith the size of a mustard seed,

Little, but enough to move mountains.

A short prayer,

A prayer that reaches Heaven

And changes Earth...

"Father, let thy will be done on earth 

                                     as it is in Heaven."

And amen, and amen.

I can rest assured that my prayer will be answered.

That my voice has reached my Father's heart,

That I shall not be anxious about anything,

Because His will will be done. 

And His will for His children is good,

Always good,

And I whisper again

This time three words...

 

"Thank you, Lord."

And amen, and amen.
