Of Prayer

 

I have friends far away that need our prayers right now; lots and lots of it. God knows what we have need of even before we ask of Him, yet oh, how He desires that we seek Him and ask. ‘Ask and it will be given you, seek and ye will find, knock and it will be opened unto you.’ Matt. 7:7

It travels through ramparts of doubt and despair

It lifts us from quagmires of fear

There is no distance that it cannot reach

It draws distant loved ones near

It moves, unhindered by evil’s intent

It scatters the schemes of distrust

It fills the unknown with God-rendered peace

As satan torments this world’s dust

It carries us through the dark valley of ‘wait’

It comforts as He intercedes

For we know God’s answers are never late

Because He knows our uttermost needs

Of mountain and desert, of vast rolling sea

There is no height and no depth

That prayer cannot touch in the instant of thought

And God will tend to all the rest

Please, could you pray for 'them' and their need. God knows what we do not.
