Pray without ceasing.1 Thessalonians 5:17
Today's hymn....
Sweet Hour of Prayer
Sweet hour of prayer! sweet hour of prayer!
That calls me from a world of care,
And bids me at my Father’s throne
Make all my wants and wishes known.
In seasons of distress and grief,
My soul has often found relief,
And oft escaped the tempter’s snare,
By thy return, sweet hour of prayer!
Sweet hour of prayer! sweet hour of prayer!
The joys I feel, the bliss I share,
Of those whose anxious spirits burn
With strong desires for thy return!
With such I hasten to the place
Where God my Savior shows His face,
And gladly take my station there,
And wait for thee, sweet hour of prayer!
Sweet hour of prayer! sweet hour of prayer!
Thy wings shall my petition bear
To Him whose truth and faithfulness
Engage the waiting soul to bless.
And since He bids me seek His face,
Believe His Word and trust His grace,
I’ll cast on Him my every care,
And wait for thee, sweet hour of prayer!
Prayer.....There is nothing like it. It's like having Jesus right there in the room with you, to laugh with you, to cry with you, to share your desires and your burdens. He's your best friend and he loves you so much. Oh that we might spend an hour with him in prayer!
Dear Heavenly Father, Thank you for the privilege of prayer! What joy I find when I spend that sweet time with you. Whether it be an hour, a few minutes or a few seconds throughout my day, you are ALWAYS there. May I never cease to come to you in prayer no matter how small the petition or praise. In Jesus holy name, AMEN.
