Another Porch ...A Poetry Blog: Each New Day...Pray!!

So maybe you don't have time for this whole video below?

Even the first four or esp. the last four minutes are Wonder-Power-full

and will likely pique your desire to listen to the rest😊

We must believe prayer to be what it is

or else it is not what it should be~

Charles Spurgeon

Each new day is like a wagon laden with want, wish and need

Trundling from the arc of heaven to the bark of word and deed

Each new day wayfarers waken to a Hand outstretched to pour

His new mercy not yet taken to we, pounding on Want’s Door

Each new day demands Full Armour where distraction’s lure is tossed

Where like modern day Gomorrah and Sodom, virtue seems lost

Each new day is weighed with reason to bow before Holiness

Lord, let not vain repetition mock you with rote emptiness

Each new day groans with important, earnest opportunity

More of faith and more of love and more of true humility

Each new day our faith has access to more than compulsion’s curse

We have access to the greatest power in the universe

Each new day, prayer is the chariot to the promises of He

Who, compelled by His own promise breathes through man, divine decree

Each new day, without exception, we may kneel before the One

Who ordained sinner’s redemption through the shed blood of His Son

Each new day, pray righteous pleasure mingles with each earnest plea

As the treasure of faith’s measure echoes through eternity

Each new day, though we may not bear witness to His full reply

Pray, lest we deny the power that no other can supply

Each new day pray; as hope’s Prancer charges from thought’s courts of clay

Already God’s perfect answer meets the whisper on its way

This is the confidence we have in approaching God:

that if we ask anything according to his will, he hears us.

15And if we know that he hears us—

whatever we ask—we know that we have what we asked of him.
