Prayer means a lot for us Christians. Everytime we are down and fall short, we get on our knees and utter a prayer. When life is at stake, in danger and under threat, prayer is all we can whisper. As prayer became the resort when in crisis, it somewhat lost its sacred meaning when life is not in crisis.
Prayer is not only for Christians. Prayer, meditation or whatever term anyone likes to use is very important thing to do in our daily lives regardless of what beliefs we are in.
Whispering a prayer is not just all about asking for blessings (food, keeps from harm, new job, etc.). It is all about welcoming the blessing being granted to us even when we were still sleeping at night. It is about giving thanks to the very Source and embracing the peace, joy of being and love unfolded just for you and me for each moment.
Because of too much hurry, we tend to forget to whisper words of prayer. And so we often missed out to witness and experience the true living brought to us by the daily gifts of life. May it be from the laughter of the kids around, simple touch and big hugs, wiggling tail of the dog, a silent presence of the trees, fragrant air, blooming flower, simple "hi" and smile, songs of the birds, raindrops or sunrays...all content with love, joy and peace if only one is aware of their presence and FEEL the harmonious flow of life, as what God designed it to be!
Just now, as you pray what harmony you can find in your life amidst the confusion, pain and doubts around you?
