In The Hands Of Prayer

by Brother Oliver Mills, Jr.



In the hands of prayer, we reach out to our Heavenly Father, With dedication, and the ability to worship in prayer.

Because whatever we are going through, He knows our needs,

And our desires, and everything that burdens our hearts.

Prayer gives us the power to reach out to the Lord, beyond the distant deep measures of sight, That gives us as Christians a personal discussion with the Lord that's so tremendous, the flow of spiritual communication -

In the hands of prayer, we find peace, and sorrow that gives us

An environment of healing, when spending time with the Lord in prayer.

We always have to remember that our flesh is weak, and Satan comes immediately,

And attacks us to taketh away the seed that's been sown in our hearts and minds.

Prayer is a stronghold, that gives us authority over Satan, a position of power,

To produce a harvest of crops, with a strong foundation in living a praying Christian life.

In the hands of prayer, we develop fellowship with Our Lord, and Savior, That gives us a relationship in His presence that will reveal true understanding and allow us to be more spiritually in tune with God.

In the hands of prayer we develop an intimate, and personal relationship with Our Lord and Savior,

With the opportunity to be more spiritually in growth and endure patiently into the Kingdom of Light.
God is a good and powerful God, and prayer changes things when we give it all to the Lord,

And live our life totally committed ,

In the hands of prayer.
