Keep Praying...For Diane (and all the rest of us too)

All I say is keep praying…

These were her words to us as we reminded her that we are thinking of her as she heads to yet another chemo treatment… and the journey is hard and long and riddled with discouragement.

Can you pray too?
(her hubby is Steve)

Keep praying though we cannot see

Its full harvest from bended knee

Or understand the thought of He

Who hears each humble-hearted plea

Keep praying; ours is not to know

But trust the Love whereby we go

And lay before his grace our needs

Then faithful Father intercedes

Keep praying, oh, and do not quit

Hope, healing, help, depends on it

We, earthy vessels can rely

On He who wrestles with our ‘why’

Keep praying; for since Adam's clan

Prayer spans the gulf twixt God and man

Where mustard-seed-sized faith can move

Mountains, according to God’s love

Keep praying; it is not in vain

Nor for man’s smallness to explain

The will of He who hears each call

And replies with His Best of All

Keep praying that our prayers would raise

Another foot-soldier who prays

Where moiling mobs seethe with despair

In a world lacking faith for prayer

Not for lack of time,
but for lack of faith
we do not pray
enough!

Don't know what to utter?

Don't know what to say?

Don't worry or stutter

just be still

...and pray 

But when you pray, go into your inner room, shut your door, and pray to your Father, who is unseen. And your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you. 

Matt.6:6 

  

The promises of God are for the children of God.

The promise of Salvation is to all who call on Him and believe. 

(from the above message)
