The prayer


After Matthew 6:9-13

It moves toward the end,
steadily rising, elevating
the voice, the head, the eyes,
as it moves toward the climax,
the grand conclusion,
the whole point of the prayer,
the whole point of the praying,
the whole point of the supplication,
the one presiding at the pinnacle,
the one who rules the kingdom,
the one who rules in power,
the one who rules in glory,
forever
and ever,
amen.
This is why you pray.
This is what you pray for.
This is the point of your prayer.
Hallelujah.
Amen.
