Learn To Put The Prayer Brakes On

Learn To Put The Prayer Brakes On 

Stop!!!...learn to put the prayer brakes on 
Don't let life catch you in the fast lane
Remember...God knows of your busy agenda
And He'll always be available for whatever is on your plate
In fact the greater that you will trust Him
The more...praise God He'll bless
For God will be strong on your behalf
He's promised us nothing less!

O Thou my God I praise Thee
For Thou art my abiding presence
How I am blessed that You are my Heavenly Father
And I don't live by circumstance
But in Your great grace and mercy
You've lightened my life's pathway
That I might put the prayer brakes on 
Then hallelujah the pedal  to praise!!!

Seems like such an easy adjustment
But you must do it repetitiously
To make it a habit of endearment
That you might live more gloriously
For joy and rejoicing will be your lot
In your time with the Lord every day
If you would first learn to put the prayer brakes on
Then hallelujah the pedal to praise!!!

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
