Hello Dean
You always come up with something that draws my full attention about the power of prayer
Yes prayer r turns ordinary mortals into men of power. It brings power. It brings fire. It brings rain. It brings life. It brings God.

To those who believe in an all mighty being the power of prayer would be a formidable force in their eyes. To say it is the defeater of death is a big call. Not everyone's prayers are answered and I see major tragedy and heartache in the world that prayer hasn't resolved. Prayer is a major test of faith. If you have found that in God that must be a wonderful thing.

    It's not the catch-all, cure-all answer for everything that ails us, Dip. That's true.
    But it sure don't hurt none either.
    The Bible says in 1 Corinthians 15:55-57--1 Corinthians 15:55-57 (KJV)

    55 O death, where is thy sting? O grave, where is thy victory?

    56 The sting of death is sin; and the strength of sin is the law.

    57 But thanks be to God, which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.

    Thanks for the review.

Absolutely! The power of prayers is indeed formidable. It can move mountains. Certainly the 'mountains' in our life.

Love the sound effect.

By the way, I got my Mikesell's potato chips today. You're right. They are delicious.

    I told ya, didn't I? There's not another potato chip in the entire good Ol' US of A as good as a Mikesell's.
    Thanks so much for your review as well. I appreciate it.

    People underestimate the power and effect prayer can have, Jill.
    My Grandma Goff on my mother's side had a brain scan that revealed a rather large mass at the age of 68.
    Everyone at church prayed for her right up until she was scheduled to go back for an MRI.
    Once the hospital did the MRI, there was no mass to be found.
    She lived to the ripe old age of 96!
    Prayer can do wonders and work miracles.
    I'm sure of it.
    Blessings, and thanks for your review.

Another goodie - with plenty of alliterations. A pleasing change from your usual subject matter - although I noticed you couldn't help but resort to the usual creepy pic.

Hello, Darlin',

This is a very spooky Haiku Club Challenge #4 Prayer entry. I love the presentation and your well chosen words gives the death poem a dark feeling. I would not expect any less from you. You are a wonderful haikuist with a very unique style. Great alliteration. Well done.

Gypsy hugs
