We rush about to make a living
And don't have time for much thanks-giving.
When daily pressures overtake
We really need a prayer break!
For all we have may be as chaff.
We probably don't need but half.
And what we do may not have worth
Or to God's work give any birth.
It is good to oft take stock
So we don't just run out the clock,
Waste our time and come up short
Or do a work of no import.
How we steer our lives will matter.
Let our prayers be more than "chatter".
All our efforts can't compare
To what is done in fervent prayer.
"Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God."
Philippians 4:6 KJV
