The time to pray is always now, don't delay to any longer.
So from the heart begin to bow, makes no sense to linger.
To say we don't know how to pray is not even an excuse,
Jesus left us examples, so to not pray is saying we refuse.
Our refusal is sin, it is disobeying what He commands,
A blatant disrespect & disregard for what He demands.
Could this be the reason why we are lacking His power?
Is this the reason why our lives are overrun with clutter?
Can we ever know and apply His truths without prayer?
If we don't pray, can we engage in the spiritual warfare?
Let's pray right now don't hesitate, it's urgent for us to do.
To pray unceasingly and fervently we are commanded to.
Let's grow intimacy with Jesus before the throne of God,
And our lives will greatly radiate His to the glory of God.

Psalm 130
O LORD, from the depths I am crying out to You, please help me!
O LORD, hear my cries and give attention to my pleas for mercy!
You see my sins and because of them I cannot stand before You.
But You continue to offer me forgiveness and I am in awe of You.
So, I will wait for You LORD, my soul waits and will wait
with earnest and eager expectation for You alone I will wait.
For in You, in what You have promised, I have and will hope.
Your word is faithful and true, so in my pains I won't just cope.
Because with You there is steadfast love and plentiful redemption,
I can hope in You without fear, I can hope without any reservation.
For You see my sins and You choose to redeem me from them all,
So, dear LORD, from the depths to You in hope I will always call.

Psalm 127
Because the LORD is our Architect and Builder, we will not build in vain.
Because the LORD is our Watchman, we will never keep watch in vain.
Because the LORD is our Provider, we will not become workaholics nor idle.
Because the LORD loves us, we will not be sleep deprived.
The LORD blesses us with children as an inheritance.
The LORD gives the womb children as a reward.
The LORD equips us with children for a good purpose.
The LORD fills our quiver with children and we are happy.
The LORD ensures that we are not put to shame by our enemies.

Call On Him
Romans 10:13
For everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved!
When your life's in a mess, and your heart's in distress,
God is never on recess, get on your knees and call on Him.
When you are sad and alone, with no one to hold,
and you are out in the "cold", don't hesitate to call on Him.
When you are full of fear, need a friend but none is near,
and you are in the pit of despair, raise your voice to call on Him.
When your life is stained by sin, and there is no peace within,
now is the best time to begin, please call on Him.
When you are on sinking ground, the deception has you bound,
and darkness and death surround, with everything call on Him.
When you are down and out, and you are burnt-out,
and your heart is full of doubt, you need to call on Him.
When you are out of place, and you can't find no breathing space,
there is one who is full of grace, Jesus is His name -- Call on Him.
For everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved!
For everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved!
When your life's in a mess, and your heart's in distress,
God is never on recess, get on your knees and call on Him.
When you are sad and alone, with no one to hold,
and you are out in the "cold", don't hesitate to call on Him.
When you are full of fear, need a friend but none is near,
and you are in the pit of despair, raise your voice to call on Him.
When your life is stained by sin, and there is no peace within,
now is the best time to begin, please call on Him.
When you are on sinking ground, the deception has you bound,
and darkness and death surround, with everything call on Him.
When you are down and out, and you are burnt-out,
and your heart is full of doubt, you need to call on Him.
When you are out of place, and you can't find no breathing space,
there is one who is full of grace, Jesus is His name -- Call on Him.
For everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved!

Another Way
I pray for You to move the mountains for they are towering in front and over me
I pray for You to calm the seas for they are raging incessantly
I pray for You to overturn the trials for they are tempting to divide my heart
I pray for You to kill the winds for they are howling fiercely to rip me apart
I pray for You to out the fires for they are blazing relentlessly
I pray for You to stop the waters for they are threatening to drown me
I pray for You to remove the thorns for they are tormenting my life
I pray for You to end the nights for they are prolonging the strife
Another way for me to pray:
Let the towering mountains remain, but move me to climb them with Your strength
Let the raging seas remain, but calm my anxious mind with Your peace
Let the tempting trials remain, but fill me with Your joy and a singleness of heart
Let the howling winds remain, but plant me firmly in Your truths
Let the blazing fires remain, but refine me in Your ways
Let the threatening waters remain, but purify me in Your righteousness
Let the tormenting thorns remain, but lavish me with Your grace
Let the overwhelming nights prolong, but make me sing Your praise
