There are times when I fall down on my knees To pray to my heavenly Father, my everything Laying out my heart and soul for Him to see Certain that He is my one and only true friend There are times when I sit quietly in a chair To pray for someone who has requested A prayer for healing or a second chance To be the person God has intended them There are times when I’m driving alone And a prayer flows from my spirit, with love Perhaps in the gentleness of a soft breathe Exhaled toward God’s heavenly throne There are times when I’m walking along Filled with awe at the beauty around me And my lips whisper a soft prayer of hope For some need to be met with affirmation There are times when I stand in line at the store Watching shoppers move to and fro around me And I see someone who is so obviously poor That a prayer from my heart goes up right then There are times when I wake from some dream And I remember that an old friend was drempt of So I say a silent prayer for them to be blessed By the One who gives us all more than we ask for There are times when I see something in the news That touches my heart, nearly breaking it in two And I must murmur a word to the One who knows all Asking Him to be with that troubled heart’s spirit There are times when I sit alone in the quiet of my room And prayers slip from my lips, interceding for someone A special person who needs to know the glory of God Is alive and welcoming him or her to believe in eternity Wherever I am and whatever I am doing, there is the chance The perfect opportunity – to speak to the One who created me And give Him my heart’s best – a prayer that praises Him And worships with all the feelings I can’t express any other way 1 Thessalonians 5:17 (KJV) Pray without ceasing.

If I had a dime for every time this happens to me ' "There are times when I wake from some dream And I remember that an old friend was drempt of So I say a silent prayer for them to be blessed By the One who gives us all more than we ask for" I would be driving a Lexus.
