THE POWER OF PRAYER

When things go wrong and the roads are rough;
When you feel like quitting ‘cause you’ve had enough;
When problems seem endless and no hope is in sight;
When all that you do turn out wrong and not right;
When you think no one else is worse off than you are;
When you feel no one’s as pitiful as you by far;
Take a moment to pray, ask for our Father’s advise.
You’ll soon understand better as you realized.
It could be so much worse and then you start to see.
Things aren’t as bad as they appear to be.
You’ve got a roof over your head and shoes on your feet.
While many are homeless, they live in the streets.
You’ve got food you can eat, and clothing you can wear.
While others are starving, their bodies are bare.
You’ve got friends and a loving family with much love to give.
While many alone and wonder why they still have to live.
You can see. You can hear. You can shout. You can talk.
While others are blind, they are mute, they can’t walk.
Just remember those things you’ve forgotten about.
Remember the people you can’t live without.
You may suddenly realize as these thoughts enter your mind.
It gets easier to leave your troubles behind.
So next time something that you should never forget.
Your Father has blessed you in generous ways.
He’s always beside you, you need simply to pray.
He’ll open your eyes when life doesn’t seem fair.
He’ll show you the way. He’ll make you aware.
Just ask for His guidance. Don’t worry He’ll hear.
Your problems will start to disappear.
Just don’t lose your faith. Don’t give up.
Know He’s always there and don’t ever underestimate,
the power of prayer.
