Strength In Prayer

Prayer brings stability...
In our lives and in our land.
Prayer is the solid ground
On which we build and where we stand.

Those within the place of prayer
Are sheltered from surprise and storm,
Keeping balance, finding rest,
Having peace God gives as norm.

Prayer brings us inner strength...
Endurance to meet daily test.
Prayer meets our lack and need
In times when we are sorely pressed.

Times of prayer bring steadiness...
So much needed every day,
Girding us with power and might
To meet whatever comes our way.

“He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High shall remain stable and fixed under the shadow of the Almighty (Whose power no foe can withstand)."
Psalm 91:1 Amplified Bible

“Do not fret or have any anxiety about anything, but in every circumstance and in everything by prayer and petition (definite requests) with thankgiving continue to make your wants known to God. And God’s peace (be yours, that tranquil state of a soul assured of its salvation through Christ, and so fearing nothing from God and content with its earthly lot of whatever sort that is, that peace) which transcends all understanding, shall garrison and mount guard over your hearts and minds in Christ Jesus.”
Philippians 4:6-7 Amplified Bible
