Inspired lyrics by Richard Maley:

True prayer is communion with the God of my understanding.\\xa0 I can hear God\\u2019s voice in my silence.

True prayer is not bargaining with God, but acceptance \\u2013 without question, of God\\u2019s empowering will.

Prayer means doing the work that God gives me to do, and then letting go and letting God.\\xa0 I can feel God\\u2019s hands when I\\u2019m still.

Prayer is choosing to agree with God\\u2019s promise, which is always good and only good.

This life I chose is the gift of God\\u2019s pure love.
