Never stop praying, especially for others.
(Ephesians 6:18; CEV).
1. Lord,
Please be with those who suffer.
2. Sorry,
That’s a foolish prayer –
3. Because you’re always with us,
Waiting,
4. Wanting us
To know you care.
5. Lord,
How should I pray for others?
6. May their hearts
Return to you –
7. Then they’ll know
Your deep compassion,
8. As you heal,
And make them new.
🖤
He renews my life.
(Psalm 23:3; CSB).

I can relate to this post, how often I write a sentence in my prayer journal only to have to write a retraction in the next sentence. Praise God that He knows our heart better than we do. Thank you Ruth, God bless you sister.
That made me smile, Alan! I’m glad I’m not the only one who speaks naturally in my prayers xxxxxx
Beautiful Ruth! I have copied this into my prayer journal as it spoke to me deeply. Thank you.
That’s so good to hear, Beth. I really appreciate you saying that. Take care, and May God bless you each day. Prayers for you continue XXXXXX
