Prayers are Deathless

God shapes the world by prayer. Prayers are deathless.
The lips that uttered them may be closed to death, the
heart that felt them may have ceased to beat, but the
prayers live before God, and God's heart is set on them
and prayers outlive the lives of those who uttered them;
they outlive a generation, outlive an age,
outlive a world.
