The Praying Personality

The praying personality,
Has an eternal value for God,
As an end in itself.
Prayer is the Divine fullness,
Of life's time and course;
The one gift bestowed;
That abides with more power,
In death than in life.
The intercessions of our Lord,
Before the Throne of Heaven;
Are the continuity,
And the consummation,
Of His work on earth:
To freely share in it,
To prayerfully partake,
In His redemptive burden,
Even in our imperfect ways,
Is the true meaning,
Of praying in the Spirit.
