I Prayed for You Today

I prayed for you today, and asked the Lord that

you be blessed, To grant you peace within your

heart, and give your mind a needed rest.

I prayed for you today, and asked the Lord to

give you health, To give you strength to do your

work, and prosper you with Heaven's wealth.

I prayed for you today, and asked the Lord to

ease your load, To lift the burdens that you

carry, walking down life's narrow road.

I prayed for you today, and asked the Lord to

light your way, To send you angels on your

journey and guide your steps each passing day.

I prayed for you today, and asked the Lord to

keep you safe, And send protection from all

evil, as you run life's constant race.

I prayed for you today, and asked the Lord to

give you power, To cover you with His own blood,

in every minute, every hour.

I prayed for you today, and asked the Lord to

give you wisdom, To give you courage in

decisions, to push you forward in God's kingdom.

I prayed for you today, and asked the Lord to

give you grace, To win your battles with His

help, in situations you must face.

I prayed for you today, and asked the Lord to

meet your needs, To bring to pass your true

desires, that your faith may be increased.

I prayed for you today, and asked for God's most

perfect will, To manifest within your life, as

His plan is then revealed.

I prayed for you today, for God has placed you

on my heart, To touch the Lord on your behalf,

whether you are near or far.

I prayed for you today, and know the Lord will

answer prayer, You see His promises will stand,

for your Savior truly cares.

I prayed for you today, and asked God's love to

see you through, And let you feel His holy

Presence, as I bow down to pray for you.

And as I pray for you each day, because you mean

so much to me, Know that no distance separates

us, when we're both down on our knees.

Now as you travel down life's road, as the Lord

shows you the way, Take comfort now in knowing,

that I prayed for you today.
