Prayer Goes a Long Way

from hospitalization when drs gave me up, October 2008

It didnt matter if it was a text, a letter, or call.
Im grateful for the prayers, from one and from all.
Doesnt matter if I was sick, or if I was well.
Experiencing heaven on earth or going thru hell.
Mattered not if I could talk, or just sit and cry.
Bothered on the inside and not even asking why.
Not even if it was old news, or something right then.
You prayed, and it mattered, still matters my friend!
The issue at hand was only temporary stress,
But you prayed for relief, and God gave me His best.
So, it matters not what people think, continue being you.
Let Him direct your path, it's the best you can do.
Matters not what it looked like, I did survive.
I continue to live, and life continues to thrive.
Just because YOU prayed and interceded that day.
I can keep on moving and not worry, and I say.
That those times when I needed a loving true friend.
I awaited the prayers, and God used you right then.
So, if I never tell you again, I say THANK YOU today.
Prayer goes farther than we can....and PRAYER GOES A LONG WAY!
