Sometimes we all have moments in life where we feel like a stranger in a foreign land, where nothing fits, everyone is blind & deaf,no one speaks your language and we feel so lost and alone with none to turn to, no direction and no way home. This can be and is a very frightening and scary place to be in, it also leaves us very vulnerable to spiritual attack and oppression . In these times we are at our weakest , or we feel we are,. Yet there is something that we can do, we can choose to do nothing , and continue to wander in this foreign place, or we can pray..oh we all will choose to wander for awhile it is our nature, we are human. but when the dust clears and the wind  dies down where are you? Are you still wandering ? or are you like me and find yourself on your knees waiting on the father to reset  your compass, and redirect your steps..i am on my knees right now because i have been wandering, looking to this world and the people in it for comfort, shelter, direction, and understanding.and you know what im finding? That no one and no thing can fill the emptiness inside. it is up to me to allow God to replace all the hurt and bitterness that i have chosen to carry. It is up to me to let go of the pain and let God create something beautiful out of ashes..and it is up to me to allow God to work in me...

                                      PRAY

Looking out the window, yeah the rain is falling today

Got the weight of the world on my shoulders, don't got 

Much to say

Cause i feel alone, like giving up, far from the place I'd

Like to be

Tears fall , like the rain outside, and i am on my knees

                       And i hear......

Pray..

through the pains of this life and the storms that it brings

And pray....

for the one whose words bring you down, cause Words don't mean a thing!

And you pray...

to be released from the bondage you are in

Yes pray... oh pray....

and let your life begin again

Friends? yeah' i got um' and they call almost every day

"Hey how ya doin'?"

"Fine" is what i say

But the truth is always written there , unchanged by my reply

Can't seem to make the pieces fit, i hang up the phone and cry

 

                        And i hear.....

Pray..

through the pains of this life and the storms that it brings

And pray....

for the one whose words bring you down, cause Words don't mean a thing!

And you pray...

to be released from the bondage you are in

Yes pray... oh pray....

and let your life begin again

Cause if faith can move a mountian

And calm a raging sea

then God can calm this storm

That is raging in me

If i ....

Pray..

through the pains of this life and the storms that it brings

And pray....

for the one whose words bring me down, cause Words don't mean a thing!

And i pray...

to be released, from this bondage i am in

Yes pray... oh pray....

and let my life begin again
