   Talking To People About God Is A Great Privilege,
   But Talking To God For People Is Greater Still.

-- Ephesians 1:16 
   I have not stopped giving thanks for you, 
   Remembering you in my Prayers.


My Friends......... 

The most precious gift you will ever receive;
is Prayer from someone who in Jesus believes. 

It's not wrapped with ribbons or bows,
and few people hear and few people know.
But it's written in the chronicles of heaven.
Each Prayer muttered, is a special gift given.

And yes, I said a Prayer for you tonight;
For you to be calmed from all your fright.
For healing, and you to learn of God and His ways.
And, be able to look up at Him
and give Him honor and praise.

I can't see your face
and barely know who you are;
But I know one thing,
each muttered Prayer will go so very far.

Oh my brothers and sisters in Christ;
Each Prayer you whisper
is the greatest gift you will find.
It comes from the love of a pure heart;
That will last forever and never depart.

Someday we will all meet face to face;
We will be able to give such a warm embrace;
As the Kingdom of Heaven allows us to share;
In person what we can only do in Prayer.

The most precious gift you will give; Is a Prayer,
a sweet smelling fragrance so others can live.
By laying down your life in such a simple way,
Gives more to another than any gift will ever convey.

Oh Prayer, no it does not have ribbons or bows;
It costs us our time, and our love that we share.

   When a believer Prays, he is not alone -- there are Three with him:

   The Holy Ghost Quickening and giving desires.
