The Prayer Warrior

Many times, I have wondered. is someone praying for me?

Does anyone know my sorrow, the times I’m in misery?

Do they see me when I struggle with self-doubt and unbelief?

Crying tears of hopelessness, at the Master’s feet.

Do they know that I am trying to do all that I can do

Just to wake up in the morning and face the afternoon

Night comes and I start all over again…

Lord, are you listening, please take away the gloom.

Lifting my head I see Jesus, he looks straight at me, he smiles and then he says,

“Child of mine I see you and I hear your deepest cry

I’ve seen you when you’re struggling, I know you try.

I haven’t forgotten you; I listen when you pray

Little one, there’s not a time when I’m too busy in the day…

To whisper words of comfort, my peace is here, if you’ll obey.

Cast all your cares upon me, they’re not heavy for me to carry…

When you think that no one cares or understands your broken heart…

sickness, worry, never ends, never parts…

“No rest for the weary,” your constant companion complains

Remember what I’ve said, My words are ever true…

Child, I’m in heaven and I’m praying for you!

I, AM, The Prayer Warrior, interceding constantly

There’s not one single moment I’m not thinking of thee…

My Father in his great mercy hears and sends reprieve,

Be encouraged precious one…

You are not alone

Take up your cross and follow me,

Let My perfect love cast out fear, darling one, you are free!

Rejoice in knowing you’re redeemed!

Dry those tears for you are seen,

Don’t stop believing for we are a team…

Pray without ceasing, come along with me!

Prayer warrior’s interceding…

My Grace is sufficient for every need!”

Who is he who condemns? It is Christ who died, and furthermore is also risen, who is even at the right hand of God, who also makes intercession for us. Romans 8:34 New King James Version

My little children, these things I write to you, so that you may not sin. And if anyone sins, we have an Advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous. And He Himself is the propitiation for our sins, and not for ours only but also for the whole world. 1 John 2:1-2 New King James Version

Therefore, He is also able to save to the uttermost those who come to God through Him, since He always lives to make intercession for them. Hebrews 7:25 New King James Version
