Tennyson: More things are wrought by prayer

Meditation:
Let my prayer be set forth before thee as incense; and the lifting up of my hands as the evening sacrifice.
—Psalm 141:2 (KJV)

Quotation:
More things are wrought by prayer
Than this world dreams of. Wherefore, let thy voice
Rise like a fountain for me night and day.
For what are men better than sheep or goats
That nourish a blind life within the brain,
If, knowing God, they lift not hands of prayer
Both for themselves and those who call them friend?
For so the whole round earth is every way
Bound by gold chains about the feet of God.
... Alfred, Lord Tennyson (1809-1892), The Works of Tennyson, London: Macmillan, 1913, p. 465 (see the book)
See also Ps. 141:2; 5:3; 63:4; Pr. 15:8; Luke 6:12; 9:28-29; 1 Tim. 2:8; Rev. 5:8; 8:3-4

Quiet time reflection:
Lord, You speak to me in prayer.
