Praying With Others

Some days it gets to me Requests for prayer, currency One can try quiet neutrality But stories are hard, dependency Here: crystal, Meth, Tik, or glass-y U pray today, they call U "kuk" next day It's the drug, makes voice big, manly Others lost money, all, personality Others want me to save their jobs It's hard to bring them to Kerk, "slobs" Believe they need shoes, good clothes So I meet them anywhere, on the roads I pick up heartbreaks, needs, dreams Pushed my wife once, awoke for screams NOTE: this poem was frozen on my cell for a long time. I kept sliding down the page for the POST button. I got lucky, but lost 3 poems between last night & today. My LORD knows what needs to be shared, so I'm trying to remain positive and in shalom. Shalom of Jesus the CHRIST!

That's what I miss praying with others, for as Jesus said : Where two or three pray together, there am I with them.

Amen Victor. In Matthew 18. But if I were notva pastor & missionary, at 63, I would enjoy semiretirement. With a spouse in somewhat good health, one would have TWO. But as we age ....God knows all, offers REST & Shalom

It can be overwhelming at times Anil. Be sure and take time to replenish yourself. "I can do all things through Christ which strengthens me", but even Christ took time alone to pray and replenish himself. Prayers and blessings upon you, my friend, Bill I enjoyed your heartfelt poem. Write On!

Bill, You are as right & in target as your advice. Only Christ matters, His only job for me ( us) share the gospel if Grace/ old & new Testaments. Bless u elder brother in Christ
