Your Troubles Turn You To Pray - James 5: 13a

Troubles are our quota in life
no matter the quantity that comes
we don't know what a day brings
but they're as sure as our bread crumbs

When these troubles cross our path
how we react is the deciding key
whether we just mope and moan
or turn to God to set us free

Listen well we should to our God
for His heart is always an open door
bring your petitions to His ear
His ear is open for you evermore

Be sure to come always in prayer
seeking God's face every single day
for He knows our every little sigh
always sure to help and with you stay

Is anyone among you in trouble?
always remember His words 'let them pray'
stick them in your memory box
look to your God to do what He says

(James 5:13a
"Is anyone among you in trouble? Let them pray.")
