Conversation And Prayer to me prayer is an ongoing conversation with my Lord I speak to Him of everything as I go throughout my day it has been revealed to me He cares and listens to each and every little thing that I have to say I never worry something will offend or be cause to go away I have spoke to Him of things I thought, He had done to me, or circumstance that hurt me deep and caused my heart to bleed times I wondered why He not protect me from the fray the agonizing, painful words that someone else to me did say Angry words I have screamed from deep inside of me 'Why oh why weren't you there, did not you hear my plea?!' If curse word or cries of pain, asking favor real, I never fear to tell Him that is exactly how I feel Not angry or accusing but as one who knows their worth feeling safe and so secure within His arms of love We have had some deep long talks and conversations real, but also little chats about the small things that I feel such as how I get so mad when water runs out on the floor, I ask Him, Lord just give me a little patience more When I have seen unpleasant things or sin so dark and scare, I ask Him to help me get rid of all that's there if thoughts of envy or disgust, irritation eating me I just say, 'now here Lord, do you see?' This is just what I have been telling you about There's not one thing I can't discuss with my Father full of care, if in my life it has a part then He is always there I never close the door on prayer the closet is inside whether it is on my knees or on a highway wide His Spirit is inside of me a very vital part nothing is outside of Him if it's within my heart Prayer to me, is the thoughts that run right through my head each day they are all emotions and troubles that I feel sharing them with Him while I go about my day, working or at home while watching shows on the TV I used to think I had to go someplace in solitude and quiet But as I carried on this talking in everything I do, I found my thoughts were changing I was becoming so aware, how I felt about the things encountered every day I tended to the words I spoke as with a garden fair Now I have my quiet times with His presence so divine when there are no interruptions between His heart and mine, as in any friendship there are times of stillness rare and moments of great laughter and sharing all that's there This Lord divine I worship has His temple... fixed inside the core of me sharon September 28, 2001
