Oh aren't you a collection of tortoises? I mean, aren't you lucky, 2 update in one day. Now for once this was actually what I had in mind... wait new idea forming... bugger. No wait, it's back!

Topic 40: Pray

Rating: K+

Genre: Spiritual (new genre!) It's what I believe and you don't have to read if you don't want to.

Characters: Dani (again), a random preacher

Pairing: None

Extra Disclaimer: DVM does not own "The Father's Song".

Summary: Dani has been living on the streets for a while now. It's Sunday, and she's bored so when she stumbles across a church service she decides to check it out, even though she does sort of feel angry towards Him for allowing her to have such a painful life.

Dani was mildly interested in the service. The preacher was talking about how the phrase "You are safest at the centre of God's will" was complete rubbish. Many people doing God's work went through more hardship than should be permitted for one with such good intentions. She told a story of how she had been on a mission trip that had gone slightly scary, how that had shaken her faith and how God, working through a friend of her's, had been there when she needed Him. She asked everyone to just close their eyes and let the Spirit speak to them. Dani thought about how Danny had been there whenever she needed him. He'd pretty much had to save her life more than once. Why would the God of Eternal Love put her through that?

After a few minutes of silence, the preacher said, "I have this feeling that some of you have gone through something like I did where you don't know why God would have let that kind of thing happen, or that you know in your head that He loves you but it doesn't quite connect with your heart. If that sounds like you I'd like you to do something a bit scary, to come up the front and be prayed for. Thank you." A song started playing, one that almost seemed familiar to Dani.

I have heard so many songs,

Listened to a thousand tongues,

But there is one,

That sounds above them all.

The Father's song,

The Father's love,

You sung it over me

And now, eternity is written on my heart.

Dani slowly walked round the sides of the pews to the front. The preacher came over to her.

"What's your name, darling?" she asked.

Heaven's perfect melody,

The Creator's symphony,

"Danielle."

"And what is the problem you have?"

And you are singing over me,

The Father's Song.

"I've been through a lot recently and it's sometimes seemed like it wasn't worth it. Like there was no one around to care about me. As if God was far away from me and I was all alone where there's no way to reach Him."

"Oh. Well, don't you know? He's always there, only a breath away. Here," she took Dani's hand and blew gently onto it. "That's how close He is. He loves you. If you feel like He's far away, then just take some time to pray. God loves to talk to you, to hear from you and praying is one of the easiest ways to hear Him. Or reading the Word. I know it's not an easy book to read, but if you read it again and again it gets into your head and meanings begin to show themselves."

Heaven's perfect mystery,

The King of Love has sent for me,

"And never try to reach Him with just your own strength. He wants to help you find Him. Ask for His help and it will come. "

"Thank you."

"No problem, Danielle."

And now you're singing over me,

The Father's Song.

"I'll keep you in my prayers. I hope what you're going through becomes easier soon."

"I think it might. Bye." Dani walked back to her seat slowly, pondering on what had just happened. As she sat down she closed her eyes and began to pray.

The Father's Song...

"Dear God..."

Based on a true story. I love that song.

Okay, great. I've used a bunch of new genres. Now I just need new characters.
