Steadfast in Prayer

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

They way ahead seems easier,

And that’s what worries me.

It’s never quite the easy path

That it now seems to be.

 

I know it means, just out of sight,

There’s trouble up ahead.

While I was hoping for smooth roads

It’s likely rough instead.

 

Good thing I know the One in charge,

Better, that He knows me,

And He will help me walk the path

That lies past what I see.

 

For now, I’ll thank Him for smooth roads,

Then, when the way grows rough,

I’ll thank Him for His company

And that His love’s enough.

 

I’ll thank Him that I’m not alone,

However lost I feel,

And that He lifts my spirit up

When I prayerfully kneel.

 

I’ll thank Him that there is a stretch

Of smooth road, here and there,

But when the way grows rough again,

I know He’ll hear my prayer.

 

Colossians 4:2

Continue steadfastly in prayer, being watchful in it with thanksgiving
