It occurs to me
That I have never regretted
Spending time in prayer.
I have regretted
Watching TV
Eating things
Not eating things
But never prayer.
I have regretted
Having sex
Lying to make myself appear better than I really am
Staying silent
Not writing
But never prayer.
I have regretted
Speaking my mind
Saying something true
My own feelings
Being slow to forgive
But never prayer.
My prayers
Have sometimes been
Selfish
Short-sighted
Angry
Sad
Broken
Fearful
Childish
Without much faith
And yet…
Of all the things I have regretted
Prayer is not on that list.

Oh how lovely you said that! I couldn’t agree more. In prayer we’re conversing with our Maker and with Him we don’t need to pretend, he knows our deepest thoughts, our hearts and words that we intend to say… It’s the best relationship a person can have and there can be no regrets.
Arts & Rhymes,
Well said.

This actually made me think too.. And it’s so true! No matter the turn of events, I’ve never regretted prayer, more like regretted not praying.

I think that many can relate to regretting not praying.
