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
The hydrangea blushes pink in this brief quiet lull between the August dog days and the January snow drifts. Autumn is this silent moment when we can glance over our shoulders and remember county fairs, family weddings, grandkids birthdays and church suppers. How was your year? Did you run through every open door? Were you patient during times of testing ? Did you speak a kind word when it could make a difference? Have we any of us stopped to pray each time the Spirit called with a gentle tap on our spiritual shoulders?
