Prayer

Prayer is my WATCHTOWER.
I cannot escape from my REFUGE,
My anchor of HOPE, my position of VICTORY.
Prayer makes me SECURE, as in, no devil prevails,
No deal with defeat, no fear of failure.

Prayer is also my COMPASS.
I cannot walk without it, fall beside it,
or get ashamed when I use it.
It shows me the steady NORTH where God is,
and I have to keep on looking up.
It gives perspective on the EAST and WEST,
where friends and family stretch my heart to love;
and warns me of the tricky SOUTH where my feet have to
be strong, else I will lose the ground on which I stand.
