Through Every Prayer

1 Cor.1:18For the []message of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing,but to us who are being saved it is the power of God. In the past few weeks I am learning anewthe most beautiful and powerful words in the world'I am praying for you' Through every trial of this life where Reason’s reach confoundsGod’s goodness and mercy run rife; His providence aboundsHow dearer then hope undergirds; His promises are trueHow nearer He draws through these words ‘I am praying for you’ Through every up and down we bear we are never aloneGod’s power flows through every prayer to comfort sorrow’s groanFor surely, He has borne love’s grief and suffered seeming lossThe price that purchased our peace, He paid upon a cross Through every valley we pass through we follow where He trodWe trace the blood and tear-stained woo that draws us back to GodHe, ever rich in mercy knows each heartache that we bearHe awes/helps us as His power flows through us, through every prayer Through every test that trouble brings He keeps us in His careEnfolding us beneath His wings through every earnest prayerFor nothing is too hard for He by Whom all things were madeThrough every faith-anointed plea His power is displayed © Janet Martin Isa.53:4Surely He has borne our griefs  carried our sorrows; Yet we esteemed Him stricken, Smitten by God, and afflicted... Ps.91:4He will cover you with his feathers, and under his wings you will find refuge; his faithfulness will be your shield and rampart.
