Prayer for prayer

Klaus-Hendrik Herr

Worn out,
Yearning for spiritual food,
And trying to pray so hard,
I came to point where, like a flash in dark obscurity,
A wonderful idea made room for itself:

God gives prayer!

It's divine Love that creates a humble heart in me,
That develops, purifies, inspires,
For God is the only conscious power
And man His ever-reflecting reflection.

Deeply impressed by Love's care,
I thanked God for all His heavenly gifts,
Realized the continuous communication
From God to man, His loved creation,

And suddenly knew: I prayed!

Klaus-Hendrik Herr
