Prayer...The Essential Ingredient

Prayer is the essential ingredient
To bring you to the Lord
A good prayer to pray is for
An understanding of God's Word
Then prayer as a continuation
"Lord speak to my heart I pray"
"Help me come to know the Saviour
And may it be today!"

God loves this kind of prayer
For it reveals your heart
The seriousness of your seeking Him
Moves Him to do His part
The Holy Spirit undertakes
To bear witness to your will
And upon your exit from this earth
He'll remain with you still

I trust you are in a mode of prayer
Your search is on for God
That you've made a genuine effort
To attempt to read His Word
And open to the Spirit's leading
As to what you will read today
Remember the baby steps of faith
Begin when you learn to pray

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
