Teach Me to Pray
Everyone needs someone to talk to who loves them unconditionally, someone to lean on who is always strong, someone to reach for who is always there, someone to believe in when everything else seems unbelievably difficult, someone to look up to for hope and confidence, someone who is steadfast and never too busy to hear our prayers. Mom. Teach me to pray.
Give me faith and confidence, belief that there is something greater than me... a reason to believe... a guiding light that will brighten my future. Tell me about the angel that sits on my shoulder and watches over me when the lights go out at night or I feel all alone. And mom, teach me to pray.
Help me build my conscience with the knowledge that there is someone who knows all, sees all, cares for all... someone who I can talk to and communicate with any time, any where. Someone who hears my most silent whisper or the thoughts in my head. Someone way out beyond forever who embraces me and all little children, someone who can make miracles happen. Someone who shines his light down upon us and brings us peace. Mom, teach me to pray.
And as I grow up and face new challenges, so many all on my own, give me the tools I need to search my heart and walk with a sure foot toward each new challenge I face. As I sit in school and take a difficult test, or run out across a field to catch a high ball, give me the ability to cast my eyes toward the heavens for that quick discussion with a higher power who will help me do my best. Yes, I know. I will meet with failures and each new failure will prepare me to do better the next time, but looking into the heavens gives me a special comfort and knowledge that even if I do fail this time, I am not alone. Mom, please teach me to pray.
You are my warmth, my foundation, my strength. Through all I see in you I learn how to be me. I am very lucky, I know, to have someone who takes the time to show me things and give me the confidence to believe in myself. But for the times when I must do things on my own, mom, please. Teach me to pray.
