Come Unto Him in Prayer and Faith

We live in troubling times
That tax all our resources
Perhaps these be the signs
We need God for our courses?

He who directs our paths
Would we look to Him in faith
Giving thanks for all we have
As we do that which He sayeth

A man never stands taller
Than when He kneels in prayer
He, in the role of Father
Leads His family strongly there

As a family kneels to pray
O'er each other's matters
Obedience finds its way
As love and unity gathers

Faith and doubt cannot exist
Together in our minds
When to prayer we more persist
God's light comes to us and binds

Let us ask nothing wavering
For God's protective care
Lest what the winds and waves bring
Comes a rushing on to scare

Our faith requires action
We can't sit by and wish
It's a law of attraction
And with God, our lives are rich
