Prayer...

The listening ear is always there
Whatever I say is not judged
I do not have to phrase my thoughts in a proper sequence
I can speak my inner most thoughts
The listener will never tell my secrets to anyone
I can go on for hours, and the listener will not fall asleep
I can still do it even though I have a sore throat
I do not have to use the phone or msn....
I believe that my listener can do everything & anything to help me
my listener genuinely wants to help me

Prayer...

Im not sure if the listener is even there........because
a direct answer is never given to my queries
advice is never given
my listener helps me.......however, HE does so in a way that he wishes.....and not the way that I wish...
My listener is invisible
My listener's presence is only felt at certain times.......



Some people pray every night to thank God for keeping them alive through the day.....
Some people pray every morning to ask God to bless them for the rest of the day.....
Some people pray every noon to thank God for the food they are about to receive.....
Some people pray every now and every then to praise God for his wonderful creations.....
Some people pray every moment they feel God's presence to adore him for the love He had given us.....

However.....some people do not pray until they meet problems they cannot solve....
Passengers on the Titanic prayed when the ship was sinking, Passengers on the plane prayed when the plane approached the Twin Towers.....NS men pray when they come into contact with evil spirits during their BMT(basic military training)......


As such, prayer is used when one is no longer in control of their predicament, prayer becomes a human reaction when things get out of hand, and when everything is hopeless....Prayer becomes a last minute resort......a last minute weapon.....becomes something that is never in mind until everything is hopeless............


Is that what prayer only means?
