My kind of prayer

As the spirit leads, you follow
Eyes closed away from distractions
To pray

Sing a forgotten hymn’s chorus
Struggle to get the rhythm right
You chant

Count your blessings with thankful heart
Remember answered prayers too
Reflect!

Hushed tunes and low babbles burst forth
Sometimes you drift, get lost in thoughts
Awake!

Then another point comes to light
Even strangers get listed here
Requests!

When the pitch is high, voice will crack
When worship breaks, tears may roll
Contrite!

When short of words, new tongues arise
In a state of frenzy or trance
Peace stills.
