I pray this morning, Lord, for the person I know
who may be most in need of prayer...
And I pray today for all of those I don't know
who are standing in the need of prayer...
I pray for those who haven't prayed in years
- or have given up on prayer...
I pray for any who've forgotten how to pray
and don't know how to start again...
I pray this morning, Lord,
for those afraid to ask for prayers
- or have no one to ask...
And I pray for those who always pray for others
but find it difficult to pray for their own needs...
I pray for those whose prayers are spoken only
in sighs and sobs and tears...
And I pray for those who find no words for prayer
but whose silence speaks so clearly in your heart...
And I'm grateful for the prayers, Lord, that others pray for me:
we're all in this together - standing in the need of prayer...
Amen.
