The Power Of Prayer Poem by Sandra Martyres

The Power Of Prayer

Rating: 4.9


Each time I am depressed
Or feeling low
I turn to God
I send up a little prayer
To Him to help me keep running
So that I not have to stop

Each time I am physically exhausted
Or really low on mental energy
I turn to God
I send up a little prayer
To Him to keep my morale up
So that I not have to stop

Each time I am hurt
By a friend or foe
I turn to God
I send up a little prayer
To Him to keep my head high
So that I do not have to stop

Each time something goes wrong
Owing to an action of mine
I turn to God
I send up a little prayer
To Him to help me rectify the error
So that I do not have to stop

Each time I have sent up a prayer
For whatever reason
God has turned back to me
And smilingly if not answering it
Has given me the courage and strength
So that I have never had to stop

this is a inspirational one indeed! ! ! Sandra....well expressed.. the case is I m a buddist, buddism says there is no god to help us, no person can help us we should stand up all by ourselves! ! ! .... now i tried to pray too someimes...it helps, then i go to see and think whether some one really created this thing! ! ! ! i mean some people think there is a practically a place called heaven, where lamb and lion walk in hand to hand, i mean i like to think like that too, but i feel it s all fantasy, i m all dependent, that's what people say... anyway my dearst friend...all of your support. loving words do help...i came to the site as a dying fish, still a wounded scavager, don't when i can be a beautiful person.... this a nice write..i try to pray too...but my faith is not strong enough... i know this great christian frind who used to help me a lot, she is converted from muslim, but she's not well with me after her family got to know about her conversion, i mean there are instance i wanted to burn the bible, she told me once 'If her family got to know about her conversion, they ll lock her up'..or things like that, anyway she didn't come for a weak, and after that she is not well with me too..now i v lost so many friends... and when i try to make new friends they back away tooo, ... you knwo friend, even to guy poets here i sent love shan, but i cant sent such texts to my friends, they all conservative, take them wrong! ! ! anyway thanks miss... i v nt seen any of these people i v seen in PH, but see them through their poems., of course there are few, only interested in popoularity, ..but very beautiful people are here too.... thanks... with love and a warm hug to you shan

Your poem is so inspirational Sandra and this is a loving and devotional way to make your way through the journey of life. I think just pausing and thinking and praying in itself calms down the mind and nurtures the soul. Thank you for sharing this wonderful poem. 10 Karin Anderson
