Effective Prayer

Lift Your Prayers

Leave a reply 
My mind is set on Jesus
Every moment of the day
And as each moment passes
I know He hears me pray
My strength is not in flesh and blood
Nor in the things I've gained
My strength comes from the prayers for me
From day to day to day.

So my prayer is for others
And not just for myself
The Lord loves intercessors
Who will rise and pray for health
So lift your voices high to Him
And pray a lofty prayer
For the prayer that's prayed for others
Is a prayer that often save

Pray for the sick among you
Pray for a friend in need
Pray for the one who's life
Has been filled with misery
Pray for the brokenhearted
Pray for the one who's bound
Pray for those whom Satan
Has driven to the ground

Pray for the lost and lonely
That they might find the light
Pray for the one whose fear
Keeps them trembling in the night
Pray for the poor and friendless
That they might find joy and peace
Pray for those you do not like
It will set your mind at ease.

But more than anything above
The prayer that is most dear
Is the prayer for those whose sin
Has them in the Devils snare
Pray that others eyes will open
Pray that their ears will hear
The message of salvation
Is delivered by a prayer.

My friends, this world is in deep need
Of men and women strong
Who will rise up in this last day
And pray all the day long
For when we lift our prayer to Him
He promises reply
I challenge you this very day
To lift your prayers up high.








My Prayer

Leave a reply 
I bowed my head and heard His voice
“My son, it’s time to make your choice.
Will you follow this world and it’s ways
Or follow me all of your days?”

I said “Dear Lord, I follow you
In everything I say and do.
I want your love to flow through me
For this entire world to see”

He then spoke in his loving way
“My Son, your life is now in sway
The world still has it’s hold on you
It’s time you showed your love is true”

I said “Dear Lord, what must I do
To prove that I would follow you”
He came real close to me and said
“My child, your self needs to be dead.

No more can sin be part of you
No more will lies and cheating do
No more can pride lift up your head
No more can selfish ways be bred
No more can words be harsh and cruel
No more can anger be the rule
No more can sin be part of you
If to me you’ll dare be true”

I bowed my head and closed my eyes
And said a prayer that reached the skies
I asked him to forgive my ways
Vowed that I would change this day

I’ll put aside those things I did
That aren’t spawned from your love within
And men will see the light shine through
In everything I say and do.

I felt His loving hands touch mine
And felt His holy love divine
He said “My child, that’s all I ask
I knew that you could do the task”

So from now on, please let me know
If you His love I do not show
Let mercy reign and grace abound
To everyone who comes around

For my desire is plain to see
That my Lord is pleased with me
For that is what my life is for
To bring much pleasure to my Lord

This is My Prayer

I am not able to stand without your mercy.  
I am not able to walk without your grace
I cannot see beyond the dawn of each new day.  
Without you as my guide and my strength

I am not strong enough to face the challenge
I am not brave enough to fight the fight
I cannot understand the trials that come my way
Without your mercy and your grace

This is my prayer. This is my plea
I come before you down on my knees
Waiting and watching, hoping you'll see
How much I need you.
How much I need you, Lord

I cannot see the end of this trial
I do not know how it all will turn out
I can only trust in you, my God
To walk me through this fight

This is my prayer. This is my plea
I come before you down on my knees
Waiting and watching, hoping you'll see
How much I need you.
How much I need you, Lord

By myself I am lost in this world of unknowns
Desperately trying to figure life out
Then your Spirit comes in and calms my soul
And I can rest in your embrace

This is my prayer. This is my plea
I come before you down on my knees
Waiting and watching, hoping you'll see
How much I need you.

What Can I Dio But Pray?

Leave a reply 
When a distant friend is down with pain
And his family doesn’t care, again
There is no one close
Who can lend a hand
What can I do but pray?

When I hear of someone who’s been hurt bad
From an accident that they’ve just had
There too far away
For me to be there
What can I do but pray?

When a trial or test is taking its toll
And there’s no one else that they have told
It is mine to bear
For the burden’s large
What can I do but pray?

I can send a card with a message bright
I can give an encouraging word each day
I can keep upbeat when we talk at night
That’s what I can do while I pray

When a friend is in the hospital room
And I just can’t get there to see them soon
They won’t be there long
They’ll be out of touch
What can I do but pray?

When a death has come to a family
And I know that they’re not real close to me
The funeral is soon
But I’m out of town
What can I do but pray?

I can bring some food to their house for them
I can offer to clean or to lend a hand
I can give them rides or run errands
That’s what I can do while I pray

It’s the Golden rule that we must obey
Do unto others is the good Lord’s way
That when I want to do more than pray
I can think about what I would need
And then when the time has come for aid
I can give of my time and give of my day
And then when I have done all I can
I can rest peacefully and pray.

Prayer

Leave a reply 
If you want to touch God
Each and every day
Then all you have to do is pray
If you want to reach Jesus
Each and every day
Then all you have to do is pray

It’s really not too difficult
Or hard to comprehend
Just talk to Him like any other friend
He’s always got an ear
Open to your heartfelt words
He will listen close to every prayer you send

Prayer is the answer
To every earthly need
It’s the way to move the heavens and the earth
Prayer is the weapon
God has given us to use
Whenever there’s a need that we observe

Prayer heals the sick
Prayer frees the captive
Prayer casts out demons
Prayer brings the victory 
Prayer grows our faith
Prayer builds the church

More powerful than lightning
More effective than attack
Prayer stops the enemy cold
So easy to accomplish
So successful to employ
Prayer is a weapon that is bold

Let’s band together church
And really make a difference
Let’s take back this world the devil stole away
Just find a quiet place
And take a little time
To sit before the Lord and pray

What a Change

Leave a reply 
I was sure
No one could hear my cry
No one could feel my hurt
No one could truly love me

Then I found
Jesus would hear my prayer
Jesus would heal my pain
Jesus would always love me

I knelt down
And prayed through in tears
And prayed for His peace
And prayed He would save me

He came in
And filled up my soul
And filled me with joy
And filled the void in my heart

Now I know
His love has no end
His love is by grace
His love shows His mercy

What a change He brought
To my longing heart
What a Savior He is to me
Because He has set me free

He’s all that I ever sought
To fill up my poor dead heart
And He’ll do the same for you
If you’ll only ask Him to

In Your Closet

Leave a reply 
A simple conversation
A request of prayer
A cry for help
You are chosen by God
To be an intercessor
To bow your head in prayer
For those who confide in you
You are chosen by God
To quietly pray
And seek His face
And keep the trust of a friend
Do you take this charge solemnly?
Do you keep that trust?
Or do you share it with others,
Supposedly enlisting their prayers?
When a friend shares a sorrow,
A hurt or a need with you
It is only with you - 
If they want others to know
They will tell them.
You pray!
You intercede to God for them
You bring their request before the Lord
Do it in your closet,
Not for all to see.
For this is the high calling off God
To be an intercessor.
