So Many Prayers

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Oh Lord, I lift a prayer for those

Who can’t speak on their own

And for those who’ve wandered too far,

The lost and all alone.

 

I lift a prayer for the weary

Who’ve given up on hope,

Those who have only tears to share

As they struggle to cope.

 

I lift a prayer for those who grieve

The loved ones they have lost,

And for those who carry the scars

From paying a high cost.

 

I lift a prayer for those who serve,

Who stand against the dark,

Those who have sacrificed so much,

A life, too often stark.

 

Oh Lord, this is a broken world

And we are far astray,

But such is Your great love for us,

You hear each prayer we pray.

 

1 Timothy 2:1

First of all, then, I urge that supplications, prayers, intercessions, and thanksgivings be made for all people,
