Prayerless Prayers Poem by Qiniso Mogale

The modern church suffers from
prayerless praying
Modern church leaders suffer from
prayerless praying
Modern congregants suffer from
prayerless praying
Not praying under the inspiration of the
Holy Spirit is prayerless praying.

Prayerless praying is often beautiful in
words and execution
Prayerless praying has the drapery of
prayer in rich and costly form
But prayerless praying lacks the
soul of praying
Prayerless praying is meant to please men
and not God
Prayerless praying is pleasing to men's ears
but nauseating in God's ears.

Prayerless praying is hypocritical
Prayerless praying is sinful
Prayeless praying lacks the essential
element of true praying
Better not to pray at all than to sin
on your knees
Better not pray at all than offer prayerless prayers.
