Prayer is the soul’s sincere desire,

Unuttered or expressed;

The motion of a hidden fire

That trembles in the breast.

~ James Montgomery

.....

Certain thoughts are prayers.
There are moments when,
whatever be the attitude of the body,
the soul is on its knees.

~ Victor Hugo

.....

If it be your will
That I speak no more
And my voice be still
As it was before
I will speak no more
I shall abide until
I am spoken for
If it be your will

– Leonard Cohen

From this broken hill
All your praises they shall ring
If it be your will
To let me sing…
