A day that starts without a prayer
Is like an empty shell,
And a day that ends without a prayer
Cannot be ended well;

For when your heart turns HEAVENWARD
You find a sweet release,
And you understand the meaning
of "His mercies never cease."

When life brings pain and sorrow
Which you feel too weak to bear,
There's strength in God's abiding love
And in the power of prayer.

Don't make a firm decision,
Until you've prayed about it,
For prayer is like a golden gift --
And just can't do without it ...

And though at times you feel as if
Your prayer has not been heard,
Remember, God is listening
And He hears your every word.

He may not always give the things
You wished and hoped He would,
But in His love and wisdom
He does all things for your good.

So never start a day unless
There's a prayer within your heart,
