What does a Prayer Mean???

What does a Prayer Mean???

A Poem by harman kour
"

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!
