I Need To Pray For Others

I Need to Pray for Others!

Someone came to me,
 wanting some prayer.
He was filled with trouble and despair.

When I reached out to him to
 began to pray…
I just couldn’t find any words to say.

The Holy Spirit began tugging
 at my heart within.
Convicting me of holding
 on to a “secret sin.”

THIS SIN, God told me 
I must first let go,
For this was eating
at my very soul.

My prayer life had been
 such a mess.
I soon repented, and to God I confessed,

I called out to Jesus’ 
precious name
Inviting him into my
 whole life to reign.

On bended knees before my Lord
 I humbly bowed!
My prayer was going to be answered somehow!

This prayer request for this person
  is going to be met!
For God has never 
failed me YET!
