Pray In The Battle
by Michelle Lowndes

I know, Lord, I don’t always try
And sometimes I don’t even care
I often let the worries of this world
Become a heavy burden to bear

I know at times I do not react
The way that I know I should
Instead my feelings rule my tongue
And I’m often misunderstood

I get so sick of constantly repeating
The same failures day after day
I feel so worn down by the constant battle
Maybe I should give up and ‘Pray’

Does this sound at all familiar?
Are life’s hassles wearing you out?
Do you remember to stop and pray?
So faith can replace your doubt

God never said that it would be easy
But He did say He’d always be there
We need to stop battling on our own
And give it over in prayer

Prayer is so needful in our lives
Constantly, throughout the day
When we are faced with spiritual battles
We should never forget to pray

It’s so important to commit each day
Into the care of the Lord
So we can walk more victoriously
Than how we had walked before

The enemy tries to get a foothold
In every little way he can
We must be aware of his evil tactics
And refuse to give in to his plans

For we have Christ Jesus in our lives
And the power to overcome
As we keep praying and standing firm
All our battles shall be won.
