On the Wings of Prayer
On the Wings of Prayer

Just close your eyes
     and open your heart
And feel your worries
     and cares depart,
Just yield yourself
     to the Father above
And let Him hold you
     secure in His love--
For life on earth
     grows more involved
With endless problems
     that can't be solved--
But God only asks us
     to do our best,
Then He will "take over"
     and finish the rest--
So when you are tired,
     discouraged and blue,
There's always one door
     that is open to you--
And that is the door
     to "The House of Prayer"
And you'll find God waiting
     to meet you there,
And "The House of Prayer"
     is no farther away
Than the quiet spot
     where you kneel and pray--
For the heart is a temple
     when God is there
As we place ourselves
     in His loving care,
And he hears every prayer
     and answers each one
When we pray in His name
     "Thy Will be Done"--
And the burdens that seemed 
     too heavy to bear
Are lifted away
     on "The Wings of Prayer."

I found this to be so appropriate for what so many are going through.  We are all searching for some kind of answers in our lives.  For some of you, your burdens may seem too heavy to handle at times, and you just don't know where or who to turn to, so you are searching for help.  Others of us seem to have broken hearts that the damage is unrepairable, and our hearts have secretly bled for years, and we are searching for peace.  There are the lonely hearts that look for companionship that have so much love and kindness to offer, but can't find that special someone that will fulfull their soul, so they wait, and they cry, and wonder why they are all alone, and they search for love.   We are all searching... God knows we are searching... Maybe it's time we stop searching and ask for his help.

Ooohhhh...Darling Brainstormer...I'm not just referring to YOU. I'm referring to many of US, including yours truly (myself). Now where did you get Madonna? And why are you Hot? Is there something I should know about? ;)

I think right now we all need to let God in our hearts!
I know I have found a new relationship with him lately.
I keep searching, I'm open!!!!

Treverjohn, I'm so glad you have found a closeness with God. It's a comfort that nothing or no one else can give you. God Bless!

Oh What an adorable picture Hollis. This one makes me smile. You are right, once we touch the hand of God, we can never let go. Wonderful comment!
God Bless!

Thank for your this beautiful post and reminder that the answers, to all our concerns and problems, lie with the one who knew us before we were even formed. During this Holy Week I have been seeking His guidance more often. Many days my prayer life, while not formal in nature, is an endless running conversation. While nothing has changed in my life I do feel more peaceful about things. Wishing you an Easter blessed by God's love, grace and peace.
