Last week I wrote that we can pray everywhere, no matter what we are doing. This week I want to remind us that we need to continue to pray even when things are not going well. When we are not getting the answers we are looking for. Sometimes we get frustrated and don’t see things changing even when we are praying for what we believe are good things and what we believe is in accordance with God’s will. Sometimes our struggle is so great that we can’t pray. The new song by Matthew West reminds us and challenges us to keep on praying. Here are some of the lyrics and a link.
Don’t Stop Praying Songwriters: Matthew West, Jeff Pardo.
What’s your impossible? Your “I need a miracle”
What’s got you barely hanging by a single thread?
What looks so hopeless now? What weighs down your heart with doubt?
You beg for a breakthrough, but no sign of breakthrough yet
When you’ve cried, and you’ve cried ’til your tears run dry
The answer won’t come, and you don’t know why
And you wonder if you can bow your head even one more time
Chorus: Don’t stop praying, Don’t stop calling on Jesus’ name
Keep on pounding on Heaven’s door
And let your knees wear out the floor
Don’t stop believing, ‘Cause mountains move with just a little faith
And your Father’s heard every single word you’re saying
So, don’t stop praying
He’s close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit
The Alpha and Omega knows how your story ends
When you’ve cried, and you’ve cried ’til your tears run dry
The answer won’t come, and you don’t know why
And you wonder if you can bow your head even one more time
Oh, do it one more time
Don’t stop praying for the prodigal
Don’t stop praying for the miracle
Hallelujah, hallelujah, and amen
Don’t stop praying that addictions end
Don’t stop praying for deliverance
Hallelujah, hallelujah, and amen
Oh, don’t stop praying for the sickness healed
Don’t stop praying for His power revealed
Hallelujah, hallelujah, and amen
No, don’t stop praying for the Kingdom come
Don’t stop praying that His will be done
Hallelujah, hallelujah, and amen
