If you pray, you must know….
Good morning friends,
Let me tell you today about stages of prayers,
The first one is to see if about you God really cares.
So you ask Him for everything that you require,
Some of it is what you need, the rest is what you desire.
The next stage is when by your soul you are driven,
So you pray to Him to make you worthy of what He has given.
In this way whilst you still ask for something,
The aim of prayer is to thank Him for each and every thing.
The next stage is when you pray for family and friends,
So that for any neglect or omission you can make amends.
Of course, it is still restricted to the people known,
It recognises the fact that you are never alone.
The next stage is to pray for all those in need,
You don’t make distinction in colour or creed.
The last stage is when you pray for every being He made.
To bring joy to everyone becomes your crusade.
….at what stage of prayer are you.

I have done a long stint in the Indian Navy that lasted for nearly thirty seven years; I rose as far as my somewhat rebellious and irreverent nature allowed me to. On retirement, in Feb 2010, the first thing that occurred to me, and those around me, was that I Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest (you will find an article with this title in this blog) and hadn't lost all my noodles and hence thought of a blog titled 'This 'n That'. I later realised that every third blog is called 'This 'n That' and changed the name to 'Sunbyanyname'. I detest treading the beaten track. This blog offers me to air 'another way' of looking at things. The idea is not just to entertain but also to bring about a change. Should you feel differently, you are free to leave your comments. You can leave comments even when you agree and want to share your own experience about the topic of the blog post. Impudent or otherwise, I have never been insousciant and I am always concerned about the betterment of community, nation and the world. I hope the visitors of this blog would be able to discern it.
