The Invention of Prayer

The Invention of Prayer

Leddy Hammock

Inspired lyrics by Richard Maley:

True prayer is communion with the God of my understanding.  I can hear God’s voice in my silence.

True prayer is not bargaining with God, but acceptance – without question, of God’s empowering will.

Prayer means doing the work that God gives me to do, and then letting go and letting God.  I can feel God’s hands when I’m still.

Prayer is choosing to agree with God’s promise, which is always good and only good.

This life I chose is the gift of God’s pure love.
