Thinking as Jesus taught
Prayer’s breath offers peace
Blood enriched in one’s heart
Light fills faith’s every piece
Spurring each other on
Prayer links faith as one
Devotion encouraged
God sends His blessed Son
Believing Father’s Word
Prayer becomes hope’s voice
Each hour, without ceasing
Shepherd’s flock shall rejoice
Praising Christ for His light
Prayer leads to support
Faithful mercy arrives
Answers sail to each port
Walking always in faith
Prayer fills lungs with joy
Conscious of Savior’s grace
Holy Spirit deploys
From 1 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.”
