Prayer Reflection

“Praying to Whom for What?”

What a privilege
What a blessing
To be able to talk to someone
Who loves and cares
God loves and cares for you
Lord, you love and care for me.

We speak to God
In the name of the Son
Who has given us access
Who has opened the lines of communication
Who has rescued us
Jesus, you died for us.

If we are honest with ourselves
We remember what God has done
And we bring our praise
We bring our thanks
For the big things
And for the small things.

If we confess
Forgiveness
If we are weary
Comfort
If we are ready
Direction.

Then there are so many things more that we need
But do we really need this or that
What does God want us to have
God wants to give it to us
Only believe, and do not doubt
And the mountain will be thrown into the sea.

Lead your Church, Lord
In the ways of righteousness, justice and salvation
Lead your People, Lord
To a deeper understanding
Lead me, Lord,
To a closer walk with you.

W.W. Hodge (August 1989)
