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\u2019t see things changing even when we are praying for what we believe are good things and what we believe is in accordance with God\u2019s will. Sometimes our struggle is so great that we can\u2019t 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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong><u>Don\u2019t Stop Praying<\/u> Songwriters: Matthew West, Jeff Pardo.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">What&#8217;s your impossible? Your &#8220;I need a miracle&#8221;<br>What&#8217;s got you barely hanging by a single thread?<br>What looks so hopeless now?
