What Is In A Prayer ?

What Is In A Prayer When you have been through hard times And feel you are in despair You wonder where Jesus went And ask. 'What is in a prayer?' Yet, Jesus never leaves us His love is over every mountain, every tree. He holds out His hand in welcome and calls to you and me. First we must be able to see, He sends us little miracles each day A butterfly or a bird that sings- If we just walk on by, Jesus is very sad. What is in a prayer? The wonder that The Lord will bring Jesus gave us all a way That we can talk to Him- Then He helps us always with the smallest thing So what is a prayer? To Jesus, it is coming close to him. It is a sunrise and sunset It is a miracle- when new life is born anew, It is life, like green fields that we can always view. Dear Jesus we ask for ourselves Nothing but Your love. Let us talk to You, our friend and guide- For sometimes we forget to pray- forget to open wide our weeping eyes. Let us not forget, what is in a prayer Heavenly Father, take our sin. Let us wash Your feet and dry them with our hair Like Mary Magdalene who truly knew- what is in a prayer... Linda Ann Henry © 2009
