What answer can I give to those who often say There is no God, why should I bother to pray Storms of life come in every shape and form A smooth sailing through life is surely not the norm
When do answers to prayers come, or do they come at all Does God really hear my prayers when upon His name I call I must keep on praying although no answer is in sight My answer may come today or it may come this very night
Where should I pray, in a public or secret place Should I be standing upright or should I fall upon my face I've heard many prayers prayed in a pretty church I've observed men praying from a lofty perch
Who should I pray to, Jesus is the only one Who died on the cross, He is God's only son I must pray with power like the holy men of old I my time of need, I must be very bold
Why should I continue to pray, I must ask Often my prayer time is such a difficult task Interruptions come and doubt creeps in my head My heart believes in Jesus, I know that He is not dead
The words of this poem were gleaned from many years Of praying to Jesus, who has often wiped my tears I've prayed many prayers during the past many days I know that God hears and answers, in many ways
Without Jesus, I would have no prayers and no hope Of a better day coming, I must hold on to the rope The Word of God bids us to pray without ceasing The prayers of God's children to Him are very pleasing
