Warrior’s Prayer

The common routine

When one goes to pray

Is to get down on knees

And in one spot stay

Clasp hands together

Keep eyes closed tight

In an attempt

To not see the plight

That may work just fine

If you wish to give praise

But most don’t give prayer

Until darkest days

And when the storm comes

I’ve found it works best

To not just curl up

And beg to be blessed

And that’s a main problem

With people who follow

If you beg for a break

Then your prayers are just hollow

The point’s not to live

The easiest life

It’s to build up the strength

To endure the strife

When hardships befall

Don’t beg for an end

Get up while you pray

For the strength to transcend

Open your eyes

As you ask for resolve

And accept that motion

Is the key to evolve

Although this concept

To a few may appall

A prayer on your knees

Will do no good at all

It’s been my experience

When times are their worst

The best start to prayer

Is to get up first

One foot then the other

Keep myself moving

To God above

And to myself proving

I’m not looking for lenience

I’m not begging for pity

I know parts of life

Are not going to be pretty

I pray to the Father

For strength added on

To what’s already in me

To my own employed brawn

Upgrade my power

And my fortitude, raise

Enhance my patience

Amid all the craze

In the book of Isaiah

Forty-one: ten

“I will strengthen and help you”

The Lord said, amen

But strength will not do you

Much good at all

If you’re hidden away

Curled up in a ball

The warrior’s way

Is to charge with no fear

And the warrior’s prayer

Is made in high gear
