The Power Of Prayer
To anyone whose hands
are circled in prayer,
God is there for all of us
—if we are simply aware!
We can call upon God in
our hour of need and ask
God for God's Blessing; we
can ask God to intervene!
Because we all need God's
Love, singing on its wings, to
make right all that is wrong
and to heal everything!
And we all need God's Light
to come down in a beam
to shore up our souls and
to make our hearts gleam!
That's why we need God's
Understanding be there for us,
as we face what we have to—
For, In God Is Our Trust!
And the times that we endure
can be tough, to say the least,
so we cannot do it alone; we
need to ask for God's Peace!
Thus, you can call upon God
when you are saying a prayer
and know that God is listening,
because God is always aware!
-Paul Whiting

My Writing About Where To Find God, Version No. 1: If you are looking for God, go inside of yourself. That is where God is. –Paul Whiting (September 19th, 2023)
My Writing About Where To Find God, Version No. 2: If you are looking for God, go inside of yourself. That's where God is. For, God is the entire Universe which, I believe, is like a Super Computer! Therefore, the reason that God is inside of you is due to the fact that God Is All Of Us in zillions of different forms—such as plants, insects and animals, which includes humans. And that is why God is contained within each one of our consciousnesses, which is how, and why, prayer works. So, pray to your God! For, God is always listening, since God is always there. –Paul Whiting (written September 19th, 2023 and revised March 16th, 2024)
My Spiritual Notes:
The reason that I wrote this poem can be summed up with the following statement: "You can call upon God when you are saying a prayer and know God is listening, because God is always aware!"
I should mention that this poem was written for—and posted on—Facebook, way back when I was actually on Facebook, which I haven't been for years...
And this poem was also published on my "Small All White in the Forest," "Poet, Artist and Philosopher" and "Paul Whiting — A Creative Writer" blogs (please see the hyperlinks below for the blogs), since I feel that the message in this poem applies to the message that I am trying to convey through "Small All White in the Forest," "Poet, Artist and Philosopher" and "Paul Whiting — A Creative Writer."
