Seven days without prayer makes one weak.
From Thessalonians 5:16-18: “Rejoice always, pray without ceasing, give thanks in all circumstances, for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you.”
Darkness filled with silence
Night’s steady, hidden pulse
Forest waits with intrigue
Aching to act on impulse
Clouds mask glimpse of moonlight
Night’s mystery lurking
Trees holding back each breath
Listening, nature’s working
Twilight deepens with sleep
Night’s time for quiet rest
Something moves in secret
Finding ground, its final quest
Morning’s sunrise reveals
Night’s savored, precious prize
Tiny acorn ready now
Transforming, oak shall arise

Praising Father above
Faithful promises speak
In His hands, mercy proves
Forsake idol’s mystique
Looking to heavens high
Courage to face trials
In His hands, time stands still
Return from dark exile
Reciting Father’s Word
Wisdom from light-filled grace
In His hands, answers found
Holy, this divine place
Walking in righteous steps
Troubles fading away
In His hands, peace shall reign
Salvation comes today
Believing Father’s Son
Life no longer adrift
In His hands, refuge found
Faith rises from Christ’s gift
From Colossians 3:17: “ And whatever you do, in word or deed, do everything in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through Him.”
