Inspired by the chapter “A habit of attention”
from the book of Philip Yancey
“Prayer, does it make a difference?”
Life is faster day by day,
speeding up communication.
Find an hour to pray
and forget all your frustration.
In this hectic, buzzing world,
often cruel and unkind,
find time for God’s Word
to refresh your thirsting mind.
Take a break from your routine,
which your inner life is stalling,
to repent of any sin
and to praise Him – God is calling.
When your heart is humbled, meek,
God forgiveness for you nurses.
By admitting you are weak,
you invite the Lord’s merces.
Nourish life inside you,
make your vision sharp and clear.
God will make you feel anew
and remove your angst and fear.
For against our inner needs
modern life does conspire,
but the Bread of Life feeds,
lighting a divine fire.
Lifted then above the ground,
you can walk an extra mile,
with new energy abound,
Christ’s disciple, a God’s child.
