I know my God is always near,
Truely I have nothing to fear.
No matter what is seen,
or may be nigh,
He's really no further than my side.
I will keep my eyes set on Him,
Not on the besetting troubles outside or within;
Or the unknowns of what tomorrows may bring.
No, bent toward Him is where I'll stay;
Only then can I really see,
His glory.
And to those things which try and keep me spent,
So I will walk dazed and be discontent;
Only to build resentment...
are those things sent,
To stuff down hurts, pain, and distress,
Hoping I will walk a "life of death."
These things I know are only lies,
To keep my eyes from gazing on the Prize,
To them I say goodbye.
I know He is with me, mighty and sure,
This is the truth that rings within
and causes me to endure.
To keep from the lies, I will come often to Him,
Stretching, reaching, with every thread within,
The truth of His presence, which is always near,
rings deep, deep in my heart,
This is the truth on which I will stand till "death do I part.",

Prayer, in it's simplest definition, is talking with God. And whether our prayers are happy, sad, angry, or loving, whether they're done while kneeling, standing, or sitting. God is always listening, wanting to answer our request in His perfect time. Have a blessed day.
