Notes About The Poem

Simply Pray

Pray for those who need the prayers
The sick and lost, the one who isn't even aware
That God is alive in the heart who believes
He is the shining light falling down on their spirit

Pray for the heart who doesn't know peace
The heart who is hurting without any relief
Pray for the one who is burdened with pain
The one who won't listen to the voice of grace
Pray for the one who is dead but can't die
The one who is dark, desperate - yet, can't cry

Pray for hearts who know that God is the way
Yet they fail to honor Him - the One to whom we pray
Pray for the souls who don't know Jesus Christ
For without Him they're mere shadows of discouragement
Pray for the spirits who are filled with needless sorrow
Simply because they won't pray to the One we call Father

Pray for those who need the prayers the most
The misunderstood, the fearful and the distressed
The hearts who don't know that Jesus brings sweet peace
The ones who don't believe because they can't see
That heaven has come down to give them a second chance
The opportunity to find rest, believe, pray and prepare
For the day when He will come back to retrieve
The church for whom He died

Pray, pray, pray... for all of these broken hearts
For all the ones who need to know - that God is in control
And He will make a way where no way has been before
Pray that His amazing grace brings salvation to their soul
Lights up the darkness with the inspiration that comes alive
From knowing this wonder of wonders, this Jesus who has come
To give us life and light - fill us with love on the inside
Give us the gift of salvation - and peace that will forever abide

Pray that God will always find a way to save

Bill Baker January 10, 2022 at 5:07 PM Amen, Gina. My prayer is simply that the will ofour Creator God be fulfilled as it was intended in the beginning and that each of us ( parts of His creation ), come to a place of awareness that all Love comes from the source of Love, the God of Creation. Bless you for this heartfelt and loving poem. Hugs, Bill

Andrea Dietrich January 10, 2022 at 4:40 PM this is easier said than done, Regina. I have faith there is a God but it is rare for me to "feel" my prayers. So I pray but I lack that special something that makes me feel like God is listening. Anyway, for those who find this easy, I salute them. Good poem. Regina Mcintosh January 11, 2022 at 4:45 AM Do you read the Bible? This is helpful to the heart and soul. It helps your prayer life to grow more passionate and promising. Jesus will give you more understanding that I can... just ask Him. Have faith and listen to His promises. I love you so. I pray that you find a peace that is beyond words and discover the wonder of allowing God to control your life. Much love and prayers. Love, Gina
