Prayers Can’t Be Answered, (unless they are prayed)

[Johnboy60]

Life without purpose
Is barren indeed-
There can’t be a harvest
Unless you plant the seed.
There can’t be attainment
Unless there’s a goal,
And man’s but a robot
Unless there’s a soul…
If we send no ships out
No ships will come in.
Unless there’s a contest,
Nobody can win…
For games can’t be won
Unless they are played,
And prayers can’t be answered
Unless they are prayed.
So, whatever is wrong
With your life today
You’ll find a solution
If you kneel down and pray.
Not just for pleasure,
Enjoyment or health,
Not just for honors
Or prestige or wealth…
But pray for a purpose
To make life worth living,
And pray for the joy
Of unselfish giving.
For great is your gladness
And rich your reward
When you make your life’s purpose
The choice of the Lord.
