Praying for My Brother...

       Praying for My Brother…


 


My brother came to me,


 desperate for prayer,


Filled with turmoil


 and despair.


 


When I reached out to him to


 begin to pray…


I just couldn’t find any


 words to say.


 


The Holy Spirit began tugging


 at my heart within...


Convicting me of holding


 on to a “secret sin.”


 


THIS SIN, God told me


I must first let go!


For this was eating


at my very soul...


 


My prayer life had been


 such a mess.


I soon repented..


And to God... I confessed.


 


I called out to Jesus’


precious name


Inviting him into my


 whole life to reign.


 


On bended knees before my Lord


 I began to bow...


My prayer was going to be


answered somehow!


 


The prayer request for my brother


  is going to be met...


For God has never


failed me YET!

About the Poet
I and my wife have 4 grown children and currently live in the Pacific Northwest. I've spent much of my life doing volunteer work in the food distribution for the needy among local churches. Many of the poems I've written are a reflection of times of adversity as a reminder of God's love and faithfulness. I've found many opportunities to share my poems with those who are hurting and discouraged. I'm thankful for the reports of many of the poems touching people's lives. I hope that the poems included on Wordchimes will touch and bless your life too!
