I Prayed for You Today Even though I wasn’t sure Exactly what to say, I talked to God and spoke your name. I prayed for you today.
I asked the Lord to give you strength, To calm you from your stress, To free you from the things you fear And bathe your mind with rest.
I asked the Lord to help you In the uphill days to come. I asked our precious, loving God To complete what He’s begun.
He whispered in the quiet And He filled my heart with peace. He said that you are deeply loved, And that His love will never cease. - Rev. Greg Asimakoupoulos
