Quick Prayer

Have you ever been where
Christians are gathered together ?

Sometimes it is a worship service,
Bible study or business meeting,

Maybe a group for ministry, witness preparation,
Choir practice, church meal or social event

A sports event, lawn or building clean up
Even a prayer meeting

Where is it written
Let us open with a Quick Prayer?

Why must we inform our fellow Christians
That our conversation with God will be Quick?

I have done it and you may have also, but
Who is in charge - God or me?

God be nimble
God be quick
God jump over the candle stick

Instead, might we say
Let us go to the Father
Let us petition
Let us intercede
Let us praise

Let us Pray
