Prayer is the language of the people who are in trouble and know it, and who believe or hope that God can get them out...Issac Bashevis Singer once said, "I only pray when I am in trouble. But I am in trouble all the time, and so I pray all the time." The recipe for obeying St. Paul's "Pray without ceasing" is not a strict ascetical regimen but a watchful recognition of the trouble we are in.

Cold
The world awaits in barren splendor
For someone to stir the embers
