Prayer Is a Full Time Job
Viewed Last 24 Hours: 2 times

PRAYER IS A FULL TIME JOB


 


Prayer is a full-time job and takes great discipline


For if we neglect to pray we usually fall into sin


It's the watch word of the heart each and everyday  


We're more apt to fall and stumble when we forget to pray


Make it a habitual practice such as getting coffee


Get stirred up to pray my friend don't let nothing stop thee


Swift the hours go flleeting by day by day they're numbered 


Keep prayer at the forefront of your life do not be encumbered 


Prayer becomes our peace our joy ..for communion with the Saviour 


Gives us to llive with enlightened hearts..with God we have sure favour 


Others as our motivation...they must know the Son!


On your mark! Get set! Get ready! Prayers for everyone!

About the Poet
I came to know the Lord as my personal Saviour in January of 1972. I was married on Oct 21,1966 to my wife Linda who also loves the Lord. We have ten children and now twenty-four grand children. In Aug 2012 we got the announcement of the birth of our first GREAT grand child (a baby girl). I was thrilled to find others of like precious faith and belief in Jesus Christ. Hallelujah! What a Savior! I am presently living in Champion, Alberta, Canada but we are originally from Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario, Canada. That is where the poem Canadian Tribute to America was birthed. One Sunday as I walked across the city on my way to church I came to the top of a hill and looked across at Sault Ste. Marie, Michigan. After watching the events of the Sept 11 tragedy it was weighing on my heart and mind and the Lord gave me these words. We came to Calgary and when my oldest daughter saw this poem she said, �Dad, what�s this?� and I said a poem and she replied �Dad, that�s not a poem , that�s a song� and she then went to the piano and began to sing and play it. The result of which turned into a song entitled, A Canadian Tribute to America which she recorded on CD. garyjamessmith2005@yahoo.ca
