You pray in your deepest interior...

You pray
in your deepest interior,
in the silence of your heart,
where words are superfluous ?
You let God speak
and you listen
how He addresses you
with his own name :
"I will be there for you";

And that name leaves you
seep in,
penetrate into your heart,
until he is your innermost self
has become.

You pray
in your deepest interior,
in the silence of your heart,
and you call
the name of God,
and keep repeating
word by word :
"I'll be there for you",
until that word
Your own name has become.

You pray
inside you :
what lives deep inside you
take you out.
You say, "I'll be there for you",
you mention the name of God
in every encounter,
in every conversation,
in every future
and every decision
that you have to take.
You always call
his name,
until He your way of life
has become.
That's how you become a little God,
God becomes a little you.
