“You pray in your distress and in your need; would that you might pray also in the fullness of your joy and in your days of abundance.”
― Kahlil Gibran

This always bothered me because I always felt like I should pray more when I am joyful. I only prayed to God during my low moments when I needed to be reminded of Her presence and thank Her for the goodness I needed to recognize still existed. But THEN I realized that when I am at my happiest, I sing. Riding my bike, cooking in the kitchen, driving in my car, or standing in the shower, my life becomes filled with music. It has been this way for years. Those songs just flow out of me, they are about nothing in particular, usually they rhyme, usually they are about the people and things around me. They make people smile and they make me fell good. They are half melody and half rap. And while I am not a good singer, these songs are pleseant to listen to because they go where they want, not where someone else tries to direct them. And, most importantly, they are almost always about love. I think those songs are my prayers in times of joy.

I never have times of “abundance” – never in all of my life; but in “moments of joy”, I pray through:
1)more positive thinking, and thoughts poured out;
2) a more grateful attitude shines through words of praise and politeness; and,
3) in acts of kindness, gentleness, politeness, and love.
Namaste & Bright Blessings!
