Prayer is not so much an act as it is an attitude–an attitude of dependency, dependency upon God.
From Romans 12:12: “Rejoice in hope; be patient in affliction; persevere in prayer.”
Arthur Walkington (A. W.) Pink (1886-1952) was an English Bible teacher and Christian writer. Following his death, many of his writings were well-received by readers. This turnabout established him as an influential evangelical author.
Dawn’s blanketing peace
Nourishing heart’s emptiness—
Hope welcomes daylight
Sunrise warming heart
Tender peace brightens within—
Positive outlook
Silence fills sunset
Whispers swirled with lasting peace—
Heart’s most precious gift

There is power in speaking dreams into existence.
When the world tells you to shrink . . . expand.
Elaine Welteroth (born 1986) is an American journalist and author.
What dark depths dwell in our lives?
Sinful nature, lost like sheep
Hearts fill with lasting troubles
Seeing life’s well, much too deep
Returning without promise
Jacob’s well cannot quench thirst
Our parched lips, where’s our relief?
Sinful souls, ready to burst
God’s Grace, in living water
Blessing in truth and spirit
Gushing with eternal life
Drink deeply, never fear it
Who will bring us this water?
We look, but the well is deep
Jesus draws living water
Saving His lost, thirsty sheep
From John 4:11-15: “The woman said to Him, ‘Sir, you have no bucket, and the well is deep. Where do you get that living water? Are you greater than our ancestor Jacob, who gave us the well, and with his sons and his flocks drank from it?’ Jesus said to her, ‘Everyone who drinks of this water will be thirsty again, but those who drink of the water that I will give them will never be thirsty. The water that I will give will become in them a spring of water gushing up to eternal life.’ The woman said to Him, ‘Sir, give me this water, so that I may never be thirsty or have to keep coming here to draw water.'”

Whenever anyone turns from sin and trusts in Jesus Christ for forgiveness and salvation, God in His mercy makes that person alive with Christ.
From Ephesians 2:4-5: “But God, who is rich in mercy, out of the great love with which He loved us even when we were dead through our trespasses, made us alive together with Christ—by grace you have been saved.”
From Psalm 118:19: “Open to me the gates of righteousness, that I may enter through them and give thanks to the Lord.”
Glorious morning light
Blessings from Father’s heart
Angelic voices praise
Calling out faith’s fresh start
Tomb forever empty
Raising Messiah’s love
Hallelujah’s sing out
Praising heavens above
Risen Savior conquers
Draining river of sin
New covenant flowing
Uplifting quest begins
Divine plans now fulfilled
Spreading faith’s greatest news
Darkness vanquished at last
Breathing from mercy’s view
Bridge built to Heaven’s gate
Fulfilling gift of grace
Good Shepherd holds its key
Seeing at last, His face
From John 10:9: “[Jesus speaking] I am the gate. Whoever enters by Me will be saved and will come in and go out and find pasture.”
