The words of this poem are inspired from some of my prayers for family, friends, and acquaintances here on WordPress. Being a prayer warrior is an important element of my faith and witness.

From Psalm 86:5-6: “For you, O Lord, are good and forgiving, abounding in steadfast love to all who call on you. Give ear, O Lord, to my prayer; listen to my cry of supplication.
Praying for others through God’s love . . .
Praying with patience and care
Asking God with nothing to spare
Witnessing a son’s love for his father
Time spent together, never a bother
Bringing empathy and care to a young boy
Cancer rages, but medical staff deploys
Waiting for prodigal children to return
Inviting God, His lessons will be learned
Watching a lost mother, now showing love
Children feeling God’s mercy, from above
Allowing time to heal a brother’s relationship
Now picking up the phone, full of friendship
Battling health problems for years and years
Faithfulness and hope carry on, without fear
Nurturing a relationship, despite great distance
Love flourishes, with God’s constant assistance
Finding life no longer survives through a bottle
Weekly AA meetings turn up a man’s throttle
Moving to a new city, with its many challenges
A new job arrives, life settles and balances
Feeling empty loneliness, each and every day
A woman discovers love, with so much to say
Revealing unconditional love toward a spouse
Love carries on, refilling this blessed house
Sacrificing His Son for our sinful ways
God offers Jesus, with Salvation today
Praying for others through God’s love . . .
