I am so thankful for the prayers that were said for me by family and friends during the seasons in my life when I was not serving the Lord. I am thankful for those prayers that are being whispered now concerning strength for trials, comfort for heartaches,and blessings along life's way. Whatever would we do without interceding prayers...where would we be? What about those who have no one praying on their behalf...that feel totally alone and in despair?
Somewhere someone's praying
Down upon their knees,
Lifting you before the ThroneWith love and gentle pleas.
Asking God to give you strengthTo face another day,
And when the night is darkestShine light upon your way.
Somewhere someone's kneelingTo whisper your name in prayer,
Knowing that you need to feelGod's love and tender care.
They intercede on your behalfBecause they love you so,
Knowing that you have a needTo their Father they will go.
They pray when you're not ableTo speak a single word,
What peace there is in knowingTheir prayers will be heard.
They lay you on the altarAs they kneel there at His feet,
Giving all your cares to HimThere at the mercy seat.
Our God is always listeningTo every earnest prayer,
When we look to Him for helpThe answer is always there.
It's such a comfort to knowThat someone prays for you,
Placed within His loving handsThose prayers will see you through.
As you kneel before the FatherThank Him for those who care,
When you bow before the mercy seatWhisper their name in prayer.
Are you a Prayer Warrior??
Praying earnestly to the
Rock of our salvation,
Anticipating answers that
Yield
Eternal
Results, and
Without fail
Always
Remembering to
Raise our voices in
Intercession on behalf of
Others to our Blessed
Redeemer!
"The greatest tragedy of life is not unanswered prayer,
but unoffered prayer."

ALL PRAYER is important to me. I have a special place in my heart for intercessory prayer. It's a privilege to stand for the needs of others.
Thanks for sharing this with everyone. Bless you.
Karen, the quotes and the poem are so moving, so powerful. I felt convicted as I read them. I need to pray more earnestly than I do. God bless you for sharing these words.
