My Journey to God

Praying Hands

Our praying hands
Should free our heart,
Be something more
Than lips that part.

Our praying hands
Must praise God first
With humble words,
Though not rehearsed.

Our praying hands
Must open wide
To offer help
And swallow pride.

Our praying hands
Should magnify
The hopes of all,
Not just the “I.”
