Maombi aka Prayer.




Prayer
Like breathing supply oxygen to the body;
So does prayer enhance the soul,
Prayer;
Like fuel sustains the car’ engine’s operation;
so does prayer maintain the heart's peace,
Prayer;
As the water quenches the body's thirst;
so does prayer soothe the soul's longings,
Prayer;
As the waters of the ocean floats a ship,
So does prayer sustain a believer in their faith,
Prayer;
As a right key guarantees entry into an armory;
so does prayer usher us into God's spiritual blessings,
Prayer;
Like the sun's heat melts ice into water;
so does prayer melt fears and worries into hope,
Prayer,
Like the ocean current determines the sailor’s direction;
so does prayer determine the direction of the spiritual life,
Prayer,
Like blood gives life to the physical body;
so does prayer give life to our spiritual being,
Prayer,
Like a hot fire flame purifies gold;
so does a prayer of repentance purify our hearts,
Prayer,
As the duck's wings draw the ducklings to herself;
so does prayer draw us close to our Lord,
Prayer,
Like the darkness departs in the dawn of light;
so do sorrows flee when the righteous pray,
Prayer,
Like the good diet gives good health to the body;
so does the fervent prayer of a righteous man avail much.
