Why I Pray

I don’t know why I pray

May be

I pray because I am

I am because I pray

I pray because I have faith

I pray because I know you are there

So many times I questioned

So many times you answered

So many answers you gave

Without any questions

I pray to let you know

I am there

I am there because of you

I am there and I love you

Not because I want something

But because I have you

I pray to you...for you

People question

People laugh

People gape

When I talk to you

So many times I justified

That you are there

So many times I tried to prove

That you care

And then I gave up

Faith can’t be forced

Faith can be questioned

It can be cut into pieces

And it can be thrown in the sea

It will be tested time and again

And it will survive

If it’s true

So many times I pray

Because I know you are true

So many times I pray

Just to hold on to you

I pray for no reasons

I pray on no occasions

I pray because I believe

I pray to hold on

I pray to connect to myself

Because you is me

That’s where you live

Right inside me

So many times I pray

But I don’t

So many times I want to ask for things

Then I can’t

Because I don’t pray for reasons

So many times I pray

Just pray.....

I am a part of a small NGO and just before leaving for my home town on Diwali ever year, I do a mini celebration with my special kids there. This year as a part of the celebration and pooja the gifts will include a special package of “SampoornaLakshmi Pooja Pack”. Not only because I am writing this as a part of a contest but also because the contest made me think and question my faith. I questioned and reasoned and I am glad my faith in the supreme power stood firm. I hope someday every one realise that the power is within us, we are our believes, we are our strengths and we are our weakness. It is in our hand to use or abuse the supreme power latent within us.

This post is written for the contest–Everyone has a reason to pray at PurePrayer
