A SINGLE MOMENT OF PRAYER

7 Jul 


Giving thanks always for all things unto 
God and the Father, in the name of our 
Lord Jesus Christ; Ephesians 5:20


I look out into a world,

of drugs, alcohol and murder.

Fear grips my heart, 

there is no avenue of safety.

What to do, Lord?


A silent prayer, 

eyes closed to the dangers at hand.

A cool breeze flows,

born in the rising of angel’s wings.


Sweet music, somewhere distant,

ripples closer, from the depths of my soul.

Whispering, Sweet Jesus,

floating above the circumstance.


A strengthening rises,

as the Spirit renews it supreme peace.


I gaze out again,

at what the enemy has wrought.

Fear has faded to compassion,

terror gave way to love.


Only the tears remain,

knowing that so many will never understand,

the indescribable power

of a single moment of prayer.
