I came across a powerful writing about prayer, it is a bit messy, but so is life.....
How shall I pray? Are tears prayers Lord? Are screams prayers, or groans, or sighs, or curses? Can trembling hands be lifted to you, or clenched fists, or cold sweat that trickles down my back, or the cramps that knot my stomach? Will you accept my prayers Lord. my real prayers, rooted in the muck and mud and rocks of my life, and not just the pretty, cut-flower, gracefully arranged bouquet of words? Will you accept me Lord as I really am. Messed up mixture of glory and grime?
