Prayer Requests


I said a prayer for you today And knew God must have heard; I felt the answer in my heart, Although He spoke not a word.

I didn't ask for wealth or fame (I know you wouldn't mind); I asked for priceless treasures rare, Of a more lasting kind.

I prayed that He'd be near to you, At the start of each day, To grant you health and blessings fair, And friends to show your way.

I asked for happiness for you, In all things great and small, But that you'd know His loving care, I prayed the most of all.
