Prayer [Episode 240, September 8, 2020]

“Prayer” – Solo Piano Instrumental Improvisation, Prayer Music, Meditation Music

I started this morning’s improvisation time with a low, droning pad in the key of A minor. I wanted something simple that would provide a continuous feel but that would also leave the grand piano featured. I rolled back all of the higher string pads and synths so that only the tonic pad and a lower synth were hiding in the background.

As I began to play, I felt a sense of how our prayers are like weapons. I was meditating on the Scripture below:

The weapons we fight with are not the weapons of the world. On the contrary, they have divine power to demolish strongholds.2 Corinthians 10:4, NIV

I believe with all of my heart that prayerful is a powerful weapon. In a season and culture of life here in America, it feels like we are constantly in a battle. There is so much strife and division in our nation. Protests. Riots. Social media is full of streaming division and arguments.

Yet, none of that is really helping. I believe the biggest changes can happen when we humble ourselves and pray.

I hope this short, 7-minute interlude will provide the background music for you to take a moment and pray.

Thank you for listening,Fred McKinnon, Pianist/Composer
