Pray For Those
prayer is our route to God
where our words become divine
touched by God's hand forever true
in fellowship, this was a sure sign
Thinking of those who suffer
from depression so bleak
have no feeling to seek God
being ashamed even to speak
Shame has a negative effect
makes one no desire to pray
the good Lord calls to fall on knees
God's face one runs far away
Prayer and anger just don't mix
for praying requires humility and grace
for the angry just will not pray
blaming God for troubles you can't trace
Some people don't know how to pray
for they most of all need our prayer
to learn God wants to hear their voice
prayerlessness truly makes their soul bare
(This is written when considering those folk who have four particular problems with prayer.
1) Pray for those who are too depressed to speak
2) Pray for those who are too ashamed to seek God's face.
3) Pray for those who are angry at God and refuse to pray.
4) Pray for those who don't know how.)
