The Importance of Prayer, Part Two

Grace, Moment by Moment-weekly column

This week is the holiest week on the Christian calendar, second only to the week of Christmas. So, I thought I would share another insight into the importance of prayer.

Clash of the Titans

As the soughing, icy chill wind rattles through the dry, brittle trees
the clock tower sounds the dinner hour; I freeze
my breath mists in the snow driven air
as I perceive the echo of all the saints' prayers.
Momentous and growing, the menace of Evil seethes
under the surface of present time, straining for release.
The clash of angelic and satanic powers meet
beyond the mortal ken of man; amid the sleet of Heaven's storm-tossed skies,
Michael the Archangel battles Satan, the Father of Lies.
But a moment is all that is needed
to hear God's clarion call. Heeded,
I whisper an unending litany of prayer
knowing, seeking, beseeching Father God's grace appear!
As I hurry on to eat, I wonder
was Satan's power play torn asunder?
Father God's Love infuses my being
with reassurance; I express my joy by singing,
"You are Abba, Father, Yahweh.
thank you, for being eternally My Daddy."
