The prayer of a righteous person

has great power

        as it is working.

                James 5. 16

(Praying matters.

Praying matters a lot.

God is working in

               His power.

God changes situations,

   even for what I am praying,

   even my heart in this,

when I seek God

         and not just an answer.

God never works

      in singular outcomes.)

O LORD,

We pray that You will work,

  but realize

  You are already working.

We ache sometimes so deeply

   that we don't know how to pray,

            we are beyond words,

and You fill in the gaps.

If we only knew

   Your power in prayer,

we would never hesitate

      to come right to You.

Align our hearts to Yours,

               O LORD.
