Say a little prayer for you

Every morning we wake up praying that the day should go on well and at the end of the day we pray thanking for the day that just passed by and hoping that we live to see the beautiful tomorrow. Prayer keeps us in peace and helps us maintain a balance in life. We pray almost the whole day for little things we come across in our day to day life. when i hear an ambulance howling on a busy road, i pray that whoever is inside it should be fine. When i hear a fireengine roaring, i pray that whereever the fire has broken out,the people should be safe. We pray that we should'nt miss the bus, we pray before an interview,before an exam, we pray that india should win the match,we pray that sachin should take the catch, we pray that the share prices of infosys should go up, we pray that the budget should be fair enough. we pray that people who we love should not let us down, i pray that soon i should be able to get back home, we say little prayers when we walk alone on a deserted street. We pray for little silly things. we all pray dont we and thats the only way to communicate to god. That is something that keeps us connected to the almighty. In this cruel and matrialistic world where brutal and inhumanly activities are prevalent,we search for peaceand harmony. Thats exactly what prayer gives us. Prayer need not be in form of chanting the mantras or slogas. It can be in the form of meditation,yoga,pranayama. In our busy and stressul life we manage to say quicky little prayers before we step out of our home or get the glimpse of the god in a temple,church,mosque or gurudwara on our way to work.
When we dont pray, we fail to communicate with God. We fail to thank him for the wonderful things he has given us, we fail to seek courage from him when we are faced with a tough situation. We fail to instill peace and hope in us. Its the prayers that keeps us going and its the prayer that makes the world go around.
