Prayer, Like a Flower

The flower prays
without words.

Petals breathe open,
their splay a kind of surrender—
a soft choreography
to heaven’s rhythm.

Prayer is not so much speech
as it is trust
It is what the soul does
when it leans into truth…

What if,
Heaven is like the ground—
unseen depths…
steady and ready
As it nourishes…as it holds.

To pray like a flower
is to believe in the soil
holding up life—
to know that surrender
is not contraction,
but expansion.

Because prayer
is the soul’s aligning bloom
with what is eternal—
Inviting light to move through us,
strength to rise in us, and
for love to root us deeper.

Prayer does not just
reach upward—
It roots, it anchors,
it transforms.

Prayer is the place where surrender becomes strength,
& trust becomes blossoming love
