You Learn To Pray

You Learn To Pray

You learn to pray by praying
Or maybe you've never heard
That's why you're not getting any answers
For your voice God's never heard
Don't be shy about it
God knows your name for sure
Why put Him off any longer
Come near...come near...come near!

Every burden that you've ever had
Tell it to the Lord
He won't be judgemental here
But will listen to your every word
Why pay for some counseling 
When His is absolutely free
Check out for yourself the truth of it
For its in God's Word you see!

Give God some time and attention
And you'll get back blessings in spades
For He's the very heart of the matter
You need Him for every day
So come humbly to His throne of grace
With your implementation of prayer
And O yes!...don't forget about your burdens
Bring them along and leave them there!!!

Hallelujah what a Saviour!

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
