Your whispered prayer is heard...

This meditation is a reminder that the voice of prayer resounds in the heavens. It ends with a classic chatimah, a closing asserting that God hears our prayers.

Whispered Prayer

Your whispered prayer
Your secret hope
Your quiet yearning
Have holiness and power.
They resound in the heavens
And echo on high.
They are drum and cymbal,
Trumpet and horn,
Proclaiming your faith,
Music of generations,
Proclaiming your hope,
Hymns of the heart,
Proclaiming your dedication
To the God of all Being,
Source and Shelter,
Rock and Redeemer,
Light and Truth.

Your whispered prayer
Is the song of the ages.
Your secret hope
Is the light of tomorrow.
Your quiet yearning
Is the voice of eternity.

Blessed are You,
Adonai our God,
Who hears prayer.

ברוך אתה ה שומע חפלה.
