Inspired by lyrics to ‘My Life Is a Prayer” by Stowe Daily and Karen Taylor-Good:
True prayer is a series of determined affirmations.
This prayer is “not a plea, a desperate call, with tears that fall on bended knee.
But, breathing out and breathing in, it's God in me that lives and breathes, my trusted Friend.
My life is a prayer that God is praying.” My true thoughts are words that God is saying.
In prayer, “I know, without a doubt, no need to fear. God's right here, within and without.
My life is a prayer that God is praying.”
