Please teach me, Lord; I want to know
Exactly how to pray.

I need some words; which ones are right?
Please tell me what to say.

I've bowed my head, I have knelt down, but ...
Should I be upright?

I've closed my eyes, I've raised my hands, or ...
Should I fold them tight?

Do I stand up? Should I sit down?
Dear Lord ... what do you like?

Are lights turned on? Or are they off?
Maybe candle light?

Wear my glasses? Take them off? Be at my desk or table?
Should I whisper? Speak out loud? Do I quote the Bible?

What do you think about the time?
Do You prefer the dawn?

Should I pray fast, or keep it slow?
Better short ... or long?

I'm new at this; what are the rules?
I want to do it right.

How do I know you'll even hear
That I am in your sight?

And while I sat there quietly, waiting for some sign,
I heard a gentle voice say, "Oh dearest child of mine ...

Do you think I really care about the time of day,
Or whether you are standing up, or kneeling when you pray?"

I don't care about your posture, or about the place you choose;
Just open up your soul to me, I have no other rules.

Tell me what is in your heart, and tell me what you seek;
Tell me of your sorrows, and of those things that made you weak."

"Speak to me in private about what concerns you most;
I know about your good deeds ... you have no need to boast.

My child, you don't need lessons, just talk to me each day;
Tell me anything you want, dear child, anyone can pray."

Romans 14 verse 5 One person regards one day holier than other days, and another regards them all alike. 3 Each must be fully convinced in his own mind.
