Speak To Me Of Prayer

      

By Dr. Stewart Bitkoff

Dr. Stewart Bitkoff   Q:     Speak to me of prayer? A:     Prayer is a song that arises from our heart and tells the sweet, tale of love.  It is a whisper that comes from the depth of our soul and a melody through which we can share secrets, weakness, dreams and desires with our Beloved/Light. In prayer there must be no compulsion; it is not something that can be forced or taught.  Real prayer is as natural as breathing; it is a song, an expression of our eternal self. The great ones have taught, the most glorious prayer is the life that is lived for God/Light. Learn to make your life a prayer and every moment sing the song of creation. *          * Prayer Traveler:  Holy One, speak to me of prayer.   Master:    As the robin serenades the morning And offers thanks for another day, In this way, prayer is a song That arises from the heart.   As the mother caresses the babe And her heart swells with love, In this way, prayer is sweeter Than the rarest wine.   As the sun travels the heavens And heralds the morning, In this way, prayer is the work That we must do.                                                                                      Prayer takes endless forms And many times we are confined To the ritual of praying. True prayer is performing All the tasks of the day as God’s servant.   Remember we pray to the Beloved/Light Because we need God. The Most High Does not need our prayers. -SB *      *   ** Be sure to check out Dr. Stewart Bitkoff's bi-weekly column "The Spiritual Traveler" https://mysticlivingtoday.com/page.php?ID=29
