My #Heart held a stone,

Heavy and deep,

A #Worry for one,

I could not keep.

I whispered the need,

To #Friends, to the #Church,

A plea sent on wings,

On #Faith's quiet search.

The #Icon #Lamp glowed,

A soft, holy light,

As others knelt down,

In #Prayer through the #Night.

Each whispered petition,

Each silent plea,

A chain of pure #Love,

Uniting for me.

The weight didn't vanish,

But shifted its hold,

By #Brothers and #Sisters,

More precious than #Gold.

A #Comfort descended,

A #Peace I could feel,

The #Power of others,

Making #Prayer real.

For #God hears every call,

Lifts every care.
