Let Us Pray
by Barbara Philbrook

Have you learned how important it is to talk to God each and every day?
Have you discovered that by talking things over with Him life seems easier in some way.

Those matters that frighten us and can cause so much stress,
would not seem so bad if we knelt to our father in stead of giving in to the duress.

Things that upset you  get you all perplexed and turn your face red,
would go by  more smoothly and calmly if you took them to God instead.

We may not need to have medicine to keep our blood pressure suppressed,
if we kept in touch with our father and remembered in what ways we are so blessed.

Our Father wants to hear from us each and every day,
we have been given this wonderful gift it is the ability to pray.

We can go to God and thank Him for all of the things in our lives that are fine and good,
we can go to Him and ask His guidance as His Bible tells us we should.

We can share our happiness and joys we have in our life,
we can unload all of our burdens our worries and strife.

We can seek advise about anything on which we must make a decision,
we can ask which way we should lean when we feel our lives are about to face a division.

All of these things can be handled in the very same way,
let us get on our knees and let us pray.
