Normally I don’t like to touch a subject like “prayer” and today is different. If you believe in a higher power today would be a great day to join others on the National Day of Prayer. To me, prayer is simply listening to your heart and saying it out loud. Most of the time no one else hears my prayers, but I do say them out loud.
The world is hurting and everyone is confused and on edge for one reason or another. Life isn’t easy and perhaps it wasn’t supposed to be. I happen to believe we are here to learn something before our spirits move on to learn something else. (I am struggling to learn this lesson.) I often find myself fearful and alone. Instead of providing strength to those around me, they see my fear.
Once again the drum circle is coming to the house this evening in honor of the National Day of Prayer. I am always touched by the experience. It’s hard to explain how it makes me feel. I don’t speak the native tongue so I have no idea what the words really are. They’ve explained it, and the songs are not always the same.
I am going to honor this day of prayer and try to be more mindful today of the things that I believe are most important in my life and what is most important to me is people.
I hope today you find something truly comforting and you can relax and breathe easy for a time.
Thank you. I’m inspired to hear your voice. You’ve inspired me today.
No matter what we believe, it is always important to stop and find solace that we are not alone.
I keep finding things you write that I really want to quote. You are very inspiring.
wow, as always you honor me with wonderful and kind things! you are most welcome to use or reuse anything I write!
Every day I say a morning prayer I made up myself and at night I say the Lord’s Prayer adding on some important things as well.
That is awesome. The other day I was frustrated and start my prayer with “Hey God, it’s just me!”
I have my own rule. I say the same prayer to myself every night. There are times when I fall asleep without completing it.
Wow, that’s cool. It’s like falling asleep when you are talking to a dear friend. Thanks for sharing that.
A lot is won by prayer, I believe in it. Certainly helped me through tough times. Lovely illustrations
I often wonder if show enough gratitude when I pray.
