When do we pray to God?

When we don’t know which way to go – pray.

When we don’t know what to say – pray.

When bullies bruise us with their words – pray.

When hope is melting away – pray.

When we feel like we’re drifting away – pray.

When love for others is dwindling away -pray.

When we can’t see our way out of the mess we’re in – pray.

When we can’t go on another minute – pray.

Darkness seeks to destroy us.

Don’t let it win.

Don’t let it have its sway.

Pray at all times.

Pray in good times and bad.

Pray in times of plenty;

pray in times of want.
Pray when you’re glad;

pray when you’re sad.

Let God hear all you have to say.

He knows it anyway.

You pray for others God calls you to.

You draw away from your needs.

By doing this, you say you care.

I’m here.

I’ll walk with you through the fire.

I’ll stand with you through the storm.

Mo matter how rough it gets, I won’t leave you alone.

When you do that, you become the hands and feet of Christ.

You serve with God’s love in your heart no human words can fully define,

because you glow with brushstrokes of the divine.

It shine its light to others in their plight.

Sometimes, as we pray, the presence of God is real;

other times it’s hard to feel.

It can be tough navigating our way through this life.

We lose our sense of direction.

When you feel that way pray.
God will show you the way, if you listen to what He has to say.
