Notes About The Poem

Prayer

Praying for a special request
Might mean you’re praying for
A friend to be saved or healed
A heart to be given true grace
A mind to be filled with good
A sign that your life is as it should be

Praying for something you need
Maybe a second chance for a dream
Some special request for a new thing
Possibly, inspiration to keep giving
A moment to share with your friend
A gesture of affection from a spouse

Praying for a revival at the local church
The meeting of hearts in spiritual worship
Going to the alter to pray all together
For unsaved people in absolute need 
Those who will discover the joy of the Lord
When they open their hearts to His love

Praying for the homeless, the poor and needy
Those who go without week after week
The ones who are feeble and frail and afraid
Those who only God can bless with power
The reassurance that they can make it through
Stand the trials and pain they’re struggling with

Praying for our yearnings, our hopes, our hearts
We sometimes fail to listen to the all knowing God
The One who can reveal the sincere joy of love
And send us blessings of faith beyond our thoughts
The One who can fill us with the wisdom to let go
And let God take full control of our bold journey

Praying is our way to reach out toward our Savior
I think it’s wise to listen for whatever He answers
Those replies of His are sent on wings of angels
Delivered with a renewed sense of true peace
Assurance that we have everything we need
Because, above all, we have Him there inside us

Panagiota Romios October 4, 2019 at 4:39 AM A winning poem.I also pray for those who are accomplished, and created companies, for these days, they are so hated and despised. Including their children. We don't get into heaven by what we don't have or do have. You know what is takes! Panagiota xxxx All people experience loss, pain death and hatred. We'd best not hate any class. Panagiota Regina Mcintosh October 4, 2019 at 4:46 AM Thank you so much for reading and commenting. We're so blessed if we just realize it and God will tell us what is best if we listen, too. Love and prayers for you, dear Panagiota

Caren Krutsinger October 4, 2019 at 1:49 AM Listening is a lost art. I am trying to teach it to children by administering silence but the teacher cannot stand it and usually breaks it by talking. I think our society needs to pray or mediate and practice listening. The thing is - sometimes's God's answer is "no". Regina Mcintosh October 4, 2019 at 4:45 AM Yes, for sure.. we're His children and we can't always have our way. I pray for God's will to be done because I'm sure that will be what is best all around. Blessings to you, dear friend

Gordon Mcconnell October 3, 2019 at 4:37 PM This is covering so many aspects of prayer Regina, but it highlights our great lack of not listening to God in prayer. So very well penned, a real challenge to us who say we believe in prayer. God bless you, Gordon Regina Mcintosh October 4, 2019 at 4:44 AM Thank you so much for reading this and commenting. You're such a blessing. God be with you always

Judy Ball October 3, 2019 at 3:14 PM Oh Amen my Sister. We pray every day for so many things but how many of us LISTEN for the answer. Maybe if we are praying for someone else God is trying to tell us that WE have been chosen to help those people and He is giving us the IDEA how to do it. We expect Him to just Work His Magic and POOF everything is better. That's not the way it works. He sends an opportunity or He sends US or He sends an IDEA. We Have To Learn To LISTEN. Great job here. God Bless, JB Regina Mcintosh October 4, 2019 at 4:44 AM Thanks for reading and commenting Judy... You're a sister in Christ for sure. I love reading your poems about the Lord. Bless you
