Prayer Changes Things

 Autumn morning awesomeness!




How precious is Your loving devotion, O God,
that the children of men take refuge in the shadow of Your wings!

He will cover you with His feathers;
under His wings you will find refuge;
His faithfulness is a shield and rampart.


Prayer changes things. Amen
God, with each groan we bring
Gathers us like a Mother Hen
Beneath His Shelt’ring Wing
His gentle feathers warm us when
The gales of sorrow sting

Because hope that is seen
Is not hope, we learn trust
Because a dark glass bides between
Birth and death’s sacred Must
God tries the part content to lean
On acumen of dust

Because love never fails
Because God, who IS love
Orchestrates the law that prevails
With Eternal Enough
Love wills the tempest that assails
Faith's evidence to prove

Because our great God reigns
With love beyond compare
No matter what, His grace sustains
Us through life’s creature-care
Though all else fail, still He remains
To shelter from despair

Because His word is true
Faith has no cause to fear
Because God cares for me and you
We can ‘be of good cheer’
All He has promised, He will do
Prayer draws His Promise near

Praise God, prayer changes things
Surrender’s sweet release
Beneath the feathers of His wings
Faith finds hope, joy and peace
Then, pray whatever today brings
May humble prayers increase

1 John 5:14-15
14And this is the confidence that we have before Him: 
If we ask anything according to His will, He hears us. 
15And if we know that He hears us in whatever we ask,
 we know that we already possess what we have asked of Him.

Psalm 145:19
He fulfills the desires of those who fear Him; 
He hears their cry and saves them.
