Anywhere is a place of prayer if God is there...
I have prayed in the morning light,
I have prayed all alone,
I have prayed in the silence of the darkness,
and I have prayed to the song of a lark.
I have in the midst of a triumph,
and I've prayed when I suffered defeat...
I have prayed near the sands of the seashore
where the waves of the ocean beat.
I have prayed through suffering and heartache
when my eyes were blinded by the tears.
I have prayed in churches and chapels,
But often I had the feeling that my prayers were not getting through.
And I realized then that our heavenly Father is not really concerned
where we pray or impressed by our manner of worship or the eloquent
words that we say. He is only concerned with our feelings, and He
looks deep into our hearts and hears the cry of our souls deep need
that no words could ever impart. So it isn't the prayer that's expressive
or offered in some special spot...It's the sincere plea of a sinner, and God
can tell whether or not we honestly seek His forgiveness and earnestly mean what
we say, And then and then only God answers the prayers that we fervently pray
