A Prayer Is Something We Give

A prayer is something we give to God
When we want to say Hi.
It's also how we ask for things
When we wish, hope, or cry.
A prayer is something we give ourselves
To ease our troubled mind.
It helps to know we have the ear
Of someone very kind.

A prayer is something we give to friends,
Family, and strangers too.
Prayer is always the answer to
"Is there anything I can do?"

So take the time to pray today
It doesn't matter from whom.
Peace of mind is moments away.
So get to praying soon!

About Prayer For You

The Lord always hears our prayers,
But He does not always say, "Yes!"
Sometimes He says, "Wait"
Sometimes He says, "No"
For He has something better for us.

God's delays are not denials,
He has heard your prayer;
He knows all about your trials,
Knows your every care.

God's delays are not denials,
Help is on the way,
He is watching o'er life's dials,
Bringing forth that day.

God's delays are not denials,
You will find Him true,
Working through the darkest trials,
What is best for you.

When God does not immediately respond to the cries of His children, it is because He wants to accomplish some greater purpose in their lives. If you are waiting for an answer to some heartfelt petition, don't become impatient. Commit the matter into the hands of your loving heavenly Father and trust His wisdom.

I Asked the Lord to Bless You

I asked the Lord to bless you
As I prayed for you today
to guide you and protect you
as you go along the way...

His love is always with you
His promises are true
and when we give him all of our cares
you know He will see us through

So when the road you are traveling on
seems difficult at best
just remember I am here praying
and God will do the rest.

Hello God

Hello God, I called tonight
To talk a little while.
I need a friend who'll listen
To my anxiety and trials.

You see, I can't quite make it
Through a day just on my own.
I need Your Love to guide me,
So I'll never feel alone.

I want to ask You please to keep,
My family safe and sound.
Come and fill their lives with confidence
For whatever fate they're bound.

Give me faith, Dear God, to face
Each hour throughout the day,
And not to worry over things
I can't change in any way.

I thank You God, for being home
And listening to my call.
For giving me such good advice
When I stumble and I fall.

Your number, God, is the only one,
That answers every time.
I never get a busy signal,
Never had to pay a dime.

So Thank You God for listening
To my troubles and my sorrow.
Good night, God, I love You, Too,
And I'll call again tomorrow!

Prayer For Inner Healing

Lord Jesus, you came to heal our wounded and troubled hearts.
I beg you to heal the torments that cause anxiety in my heart;
I beg you, in a particular way, to heal all who are the cause of sin.
I beg you to come into my life and heal me of the
psychological harms that struck me in my early years
and from the injuries that they caused throughout my life.

Lord Jesus, you know my burdens.
I lay them all on your Good Shepherd's Heart.
I beseech you--by the merits of the great,
open wound in your heart--to heal the small wounds that are in mine.
Heal the pain of my memories,
so that nothing that has happened to me
will cause me to remain in pain and anguish, filled with anxiety.

Heal, O Lord, all those wounds that have been the cause
of all the evil that is rooted in my life.
I want to forgive all those who have offended me.
Look to those inner sores that make me unable to forgive.
You who came to forgive the afflicted of heart,
please, heal my own heart.

Heal, my Lord Jesus, those intimate wounds
that cause me physical illness.
I offer you my heart.
Accept it, Lord, purify it and give me the sentiments of your Divine Heart.
Help me to be meek and humble.

Heal me, O Lord, from the pain caused by the death of my loved ones,
which is oppressing me.
Grant me to regain peace and joy in the knowledge
that you are the Resurrection and the Life.
Make me an authentic witness to your Resurrection,
your victory over sin and death,
your living presence among us.

Amen.

Prayers

Life without purpose is barren indeed
There can't be a harvest unless you plant seed
There can't be attainment unless there's a goal
And man's but a robot unless there's a soul.

If we send no ships out, no ships will come in,
And unless there's a contest, nobody can win.
For games can't be won unless they are played,
And prayers can't be answered unless they are prayed.

So whatever is wrong with your life today
You'll find a solution if you kneel down and pray.
Not just for pleasure, enjoyment and health,
Not just for honors and prestige and wealth.

But pray for a purpose to make life worth living
And pray for the joy of unselfish giving.
For great is your gladness and rich your reward,
When you make your life's purpose the choice of the Lord.

The Difference

got up early one morning
And rushed right into the day;
I had so much to accomplish
That I didn't have time to pray.

Problems just tumbled about me
And heavier came each task;
Why doesn't God help me? I wondered
He said, "But you didn't ask."

I wanted to see joy and beauty
But the day toiled on, gray and bleak ;
I wondered why God didn't show me.
He said, but you didn't seek.

I tried to come into God's presence;
I used all my keys at the lock.
God gently and lovingly chided,
My child, you didn't knock.

I woke up early this morning
And paused before entering the day.
I had so much to accomplish
That I had to take time to pray!

The Wings Of Prayer

Just close your eyes and open your heart,
And feel your worries and cares depart.
Just yield yourself to the Father above,
And let Him hold you secure in His love.

For life on earth grows more involved,
With endless problems that can't be solved.
But God only asks us to do our best,
Then He will take over and finish the rest.

So when you are tired, discouraged and blue,
There is always one door that is open to you.
And that is the door to The House of Prayer,
And you'll find God waiting to meet you there.

And The House of Prayer is no further away,
Than the quiet spot where you kneel and pray.
For the heart is a temple when God is there,
As we place ourselves in His loving care.

And He hears every prayer and answers each one,
When we Pray in His name - Thy will be done.
The burdens that seemed too heavy to bear,
Are lifted away on the wings of a prayer.

This I Know

I know not what methods rare,
But this I know-God answers prayer.
I know that He has given His Word,
Which tells me prayer is always heard,
And will be answered, soon or late,
And so I pray and calmly wait.
I know not if the blessing sought
Will come in just the way I thought,
But leave my prayers with Him alone,
Whose will is wiser than my own.
Assured that He will grant my quest,
Or send some answer far more blest.

Wings Of Prayer

When you're feeling low and lonely
And no one seems to care,
Reach out to God who loves you
And unfold your wings of prayer.

Rise above the daily heartaches
So common to us all.
Just spread your wings and fly away
Before the teardrops fall.

Don't let trials and temptations
Like anchors weigh you down.
Reach out to God...He loves you
And will not let you drown.

You can rise above your problems;
You can soar most anywhere.
Just put your faith into action
And unfold your wings of prayer!
