The Power of Prayer

Lila stood by the window, watching the rain pour down. Her heart felt heavy, burdened by worries that seemed endless. She closed her eyes and whispered a prayer, her voice barely audible. "Please, give me strength," she murmured.

Days turned into weeks, and Lila continued her nightly prayers. She felt a sense of peace washing over her, a quiet assurance that things would get better. One morning, as she walked to work, she noticed a small garden blooming with vibrant flowers. A smile spread across her face.

Each day, Lila's confidence grew, and her problems seemed less daunting. Her prayers had not changed her circumstances, but they had changed her. She realized that prayer wasn't about asking for miracles; it was about finding inner strength and hope.

Whispered: A poem

In the stillness of the night,

Whispers rise, a gentle light,

Hands clasped in quiet plea,

Seeking solace, setting free.

Hopes and fears,

a heart laid bare,

In sacred moments,

whispered prayer,

A bridge to peace,

a soul's release,In faith,

we find our inner peace.

Kierkegaard on prayer

"Prayer does not change God, but it changes him who prays." - Søren Kierkegaard
