Analysis of Prayers



When you have a problem and
 can’t find a solution;
when you feel life’s “bad luck”
dissolution;
when your mind is filled with
serious doubt;
God always has a hidden way
 out.

So waste not the hours of
life today;
enjoy your time with God
and pray.
Just close your eyes and let
the prayers start.
Prayers are the stairs that
leads to God’s heart.
