Ways to pray:

Pray with your hands clasped together and your head down.
Pray with your feet on the cold marble floor.
Pray using words you've heard a thousand times.
Pray as one of many, a face in the crowd.

Pray with book in hand and follow the lines with your finger.
Pray with your knees on the velvet rug.
Pray with your arms outstretched, then folded.
Pray like you know what you're doing.

Pray like you have no idea what prayer even is.
Pray with your chin in your hand, thinking.
Pray with your hands on the wheel, driving.
Pray in a whisper.

Pray with the music cranked all the way up.
Pray in an empty building with the lights turned off.
Pray in dance moves when you can't think of words.
Pray by laughing uncontrollably.

Pray writing in your journal.
Pray lying in your bed.
Pray sitting up all night wondering if anything is real.
Pray with your face to the floor.

Pray screaming.
Pray when you're so mad you feel like your lungs are on fire.
Pray using language you wouldn't use in church.
Pray sobbing your heart out.

Pray when the sun comes up.
Pray by saying nothing at all.
Pray by breathing.
Pray by being alive.
