When I've lost my direction 
In this crazy old world
I'm reluctant to ask for some help
I think it's a reflection 
That I'm not self-assured 

And it makes me feel very inept
But I can't have this attitude
In my walk with the Lord
When I find I am losing my way
I will have more gratitude
If i look to His word
And find how He tells me to pray

He says first I must ask Him
When I've come to stray 
Whether knowledge or wisdom I need
And He says that He'll give 
And show me the way
To find the next step in my plea

Next is to seek out 
His will for my life 
In the situation I've fallen in
Then I can figure out
The escape from my strife
And find the path destined to win

Last I must knock
At the door I come to
It shall open to me on its own
The door is unlocked
And it opens to view 
The answer that He will make known

Now all that sounds simple 
And easy to do
But there's one trick you need to remember
The asking and seeking
And knocking you do
Must be done 'til you're led to the answer

He always will lead to the answer
He always will answer your plea
It's the waiting and watching that's hard to do
So ask 'til your heart is set free
And seek 'til you see
And knock "til you reach the door.

I cried out to Jesus this morning
Lord please hear my humble prayer
I come to you seeking your mercy
For so many friends out there

One of my friends needs your guidance
About things going on in his life
I ask you to give this friend wisdom
To deal with this mountain of strife

Two friends need help with a new job
That came as an answer to prayers
These next few weeks they’ll be learning
Help them listen and learn as they train

I know that you hear my prayer
And I know that an answer will come
I trust in your perfect timing
I will pray they’ll have strength all along

Still others need your touch to heal them
From cancer, or aches, or disease
I ask that your mercy surround them
As I pray to you down on my knees

There’s a friend who has asked me to pray
For protection in foreign lands
I make my request to you Lord
To keep them all safe in your hands

I close out my prayer time this morning
By lifting my voice in praise
My spirit is lost in your worship
I lift up your holy name

I thank you for listening to me
And the prayers that I send your way
Take care of my friends this morning
And give them your mercy today.

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.
