What does a Prayer Mean???

I just thought about what a prayer means and penned down my thoughts on this...

As I enter the temple of God

I wonder how he feels

About the never-ending wants and grouse

He receives day in and day out!

I see people begging to Him

For prospects of a better life

I see others cursing Him

For making them endlessly strive!

As I join my hands to pray

I wonder what a Prayer means...

Does it mean bowing to God

Asking Him all that you want

Thanking Him for the wishes fulfilled

And still pleading for more and more

Expressing our agony and regrets 

For The ones He paid to pay any heed!

Or does it mean offering things

Whenever a problem knocks our door

Does it mean singing His praises

So that He showers blessing more...

Or blaming and accusing Him

For all thats wrong in our world!

There are even those souls

Who trust Him implicitly

No matter what they face in life

Meditate upon Him deeply...

As I retreat my steps back...

I ponder over where I stand

How do I pray? Why do I pray?

What does prayer mean to me???

The rhyming in this is abrupt but that wasn't my priority... I just let my feeling flow and came up with this...

I'm Ojibwa/Mexican and I believe prayer is for your own soul and spirit. In the peace and quiet of a prayer sometimes we can make sense out of this crazy world. I like this poem. You ask a very good question. A very good poem.

This is a dilemma I face.. I honestly dont care what God is called in different religions.. I've been to every possible religious place of worship and the thing is the feeling of comfort in all the places is the same.. I dont know if who I pray to actually exists or not.. It all comes down to faith.. Nice Write !!

A thought provoking write. Though we may not accept it but the sad thruth remains that we only remember God at times of crises.
I dont think the flow was missing at any point. You did full justice with this one here.
Great going!
