Power of Prayer

The Power of Prayer

By Terence Wright (based on a message from Matthew Wright)

Prayer. What do we say? What can we see?

Why do we pray and tell God our needs?

First and foremost because God said

In the morning, during the day and right before bed

In the Word it mentions prayer over 400 times

And prayer is the reason I’m writing these rhymes

So let’s start by asking a question or two

About why the bible says prayer is the thing to do

Prayer builds relationship with our Father God

And brings His will on this place that we trod

So that’s why, but now how? 

What should we say?

We need to start by glorifying God everyday

Next? To bring His will from the bible 

Cause we know what it says is reliable

Now for our needs, in trouble or peace

No matter the situation we should be on our knees

What about forgiveness? Let’s focus on that now

We ask for forgiveness, but let’s break it down

He will forgive us

But this verse is connected to another

We are forgiven to the point that we’ve forgiven our brother

And last but not least to keep us from sin

And then it ends in glorifying God once again

Each day the same as Jesus directed us to pray

In Matthew 6:9-13 He told us what to say

So one more question, one more thing that I ask

If God is so sovereign why is prayer our task?

Because God has given all power and authority to us, through Christ

And He wants to help us in our life

So, in closing let me say this last thing broken in two

Prayer is exercising the authority 

That Jesus took back for you

And invites God to move on this earth in all that you do
