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 son’s lasting love for his Dad
Time spent together, making both glad
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 new demands
New job arrives, life settles in God’s hands
Feeling empty loneliness, each and every day
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 . . .
