Without Prayer

Today to no avail I try and imagine my life without prayer

I know without the divine guidance and partnership linear vanity would stream forth

Uncontrolled chaos like being stuck on a roller coaster that never stops

But with God all time and purpose ceases

And I seek His counsel and in some strange way He seeks mine

I rest there in the divine pause to think about all that I am and All He is

Worship happens like a rain in spring bringing forth a cool and calming perspective

Everything that seemed so hard and fast all of a sudden has a soft edge and a rounded corner

What seemed impossible has been lowered like a mountain

and the low valley of negativity has been raised by praise

I try to imagine a life without prayer and fail

Cause without  it there is no life at all

Just a slow death
