Comfort in Prayer

Prayer has no price tag and is possible for everyone.

Praying eliminates distress from the heart, soul, and mind.

With a rosary bead pressed between my index finger and thumb,

I pray to safely travel through this lifetime.

***

As my fingers move from bead to bead, I reflect upon the mysteries.

I pray for redemption from a hardened heart's ways.

I offer up prayers for the neglected and forgotten from bent knees.

Prayers are said for peace and joy to never fade away.

***

As the decades are completed, I become more serene.

Worries and doubts disappear like the wind to a candle flame.

My prayers send praises up from the feet of the queen.

Prayers ask for forgiveness for my anger and blame.

***

My prayers bring me comfort like a lighthouse illuminating a ship lost in a storm.

Prayer is being wrapped in Love's everlasting arms.
