It’s easy to get sidetracked,
on the narrow Way . . .
with so many distractions
getting thrown at us each day.
It’s easy to get off course,
when following the Light . . .
with so many diversions
being shoved in our sight.
It’s easy to lose focus,
when trying to live the Life . . .
with so many disturbances
causing us conflict and strife.
It’s easy to lose sight of,
the straight, narrow gate . . .
with so many differences
throwing us off our gait.
It’s easy to be diverted,
from the Light, Life and the Way
but, we can be redirected . . .
to the Truth, if we stop and pray!
~~~~~~~~~~
“Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate,
and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction,
and many there be which go in thereat:
Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way,
which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it.”

Prayer, the communication channel to God. Sometimes we need to be reminded to start and end our day communing with the Giver of Life. Thank you for the reminder.
Shalom,

We can’t do without prayer. Help Lord to always “Stop and pray” no matter what I face in life. Thanks for the piece.
