Always Pray and Never Faint
When our eyes first open and the sun peeks i
n
We can thank the Lord as our day begins
Or when storms close in with darkening skies
And we run for shelter to our dear Lord’s side
When the corn is ripe or when the fields look dead
We can still thank God for our daily bread
When we’ve sinned and feel the guilt and shame
He forgives us if we ask in His holy name
When we’ve run the race as far as we can
He renews our strength when we pray to Him
In every day and through every night
In every victory and through every fight
When we stand up strong or when we fall down
If we’ll pray to the end He has promised a crown
It’s not by our wisdom that this battle’s won
Not by our own strength that the race can be run
He gives when we ask He that seeks surely finds
When we pray and don’t faint to the end of the line!
And he spake a parable unto them to this end, that men ought always to pray, and not to faint Luke 18:1

I am dedicating today’s poem to our special prayer service tonight for our sister Maria. Maria has been battling stage 4 cancer for over a year and 23 chemo treatments. She has outlived her prognosis and is trusting that God is the one who will number her days. It would be a blessing if anyone would join us in prayer. Thanks so much!

Blessings friend! Prayers for your friend too:)
Oh thanks for the reply. Yes I love that word… The government will be upon His shoulders! I will remember that as I pray
