Prayer For a Friend


"Prayer For A Friend"

Lord I lift my friend to You, I've done all that I know to do
I lift my friend to You
Complicated circumstances have clouded his view
Lord, I lift my friend up to You

I fear that I won't have the words that he needs to hear
I pray for Your wisdom, oh God, and a heart that's sincere
Lord, I lift my friend up to You

Lord, I lift my friend to you
My best friend in the world, I know he means much more to You
I want so much to help him, but this is something he has to do
And Lord, I lift my friend up to You

'cause there's a way that seems so right to him
But You know where that leads
He's becoming a puppet of the world, too blind to see the strings
Lord, I lift my friend up to You
My friend up to You

Lord, I lift my friend to You, I've done all that I know to do
I lift my friend to You.

5 Steps to solve your problems!




1. Eat a LOT: I eat sweet things, sour things, spicy things, just about anything..







2. Sleep a lot: Sleep for an hour, sleep for 5 more hours, then sleep for 24 more hours, you get the idea...






3. Watch a sad movie: I watch sappy dog movies when I want to watch a sad movie. Last dog movie that I saw was "10 promises made between man and a dog". I cried almost through the entire thing... TT___TT




4. Play the piano: This part can go either way.If my problem are angry problems, I play until my finger tips are bruised and my nails are peeling back. If my problems are sad problems, I play the most emotional pieces until I'm so emotionally drained that I actually feel physically exhausted.






5. Go shopping: Now don't get me wrong, this doesn't necessarily mean that you have to spend money. It can be just trying on clothes or buying a lot of clothes but either way... ^_^



But in all seriousness I've realized that God is teaching me to come to Him more. My tendency for when I'm having a hard time is to withdraw myself from the world and do things on my own. I find myself making excuses to not spend time with my brothers and sisters instead of seeking them for advice. I think that it's because it is easier to ignore your problems then to actually face them. The power of prayer will always be strong when I open my heart and humble myself before Him...
