Prayer Requests

orchidee



Tune: Beatitudo

('O for a closer walk with God')

*********

Almighty God, you have promised

Us your grace to assist

And to hear prayers made in Christ's name

He ever stays the same

 

We pray what we have asked here now

That you will answer how

Most effectively for glory

That shall be yours, all see

 

For you have inspired us aright

To ask what in your sight

Is pleasing to you, so faithful

We pray in Christ's name all

          Thanks SB. Probably hellish, if all got what they WANT - meaning selfishly, etc. But we can pursue what we NEED.

            Thanks Gold. I would say he is there, though easy to say if all is going on cosily.
