You see them in the grocery store
Heads bowed, close to a friend
Lips moving, maybe they’re touching.
Somehow you know what’s going on,
And you give them room.
Someone’s in pain, someone has a need.
People who pray don’t wait
For the appropriate place,
Or the more convenient time.
People who pray, pray.
No matter what time, no matter what place.
If someone is brave enough to ask,
Then "Let’s do it now. Bow your head."
People who pray pray over things
Other people might not think of.
They pray the front page of the newspaper,
So much violence, so much need.
Neighbors down the street need to be
Prayed for while walking the block.
Schools need prayers while you’re driving by.
Blow a kiss to the firefighters as they’re
Tearing down the street
"God bless you! And be safe!"
Pray-ers pray for ambulances, for policemen,
For construction workers and moms out shopping.
A silent army moves among us,
Fighting the Spiritual battle on our behalf
People who pray speak to God
Like they know Him,
And they do.

Hi,
ReplyDeleteI have visited your weblog and enjoyed it very much. It has a great inspiration.
Would you like to visit my weblog which I created about 3 months ago? You are invited to follow our weblog if you like it.
My husband and I are Iranian and live in the UK. We love Jesus and my weblog is mostly about him. Since we are Iranian we have added some Persian topics to the weblog but you can read and watch English ones.
My weblog is http://creation-to-eternity.blogspot.com
May Jesus bless you,
Afsoon
