PRAYERS

PRAYERS

 Underestimate never Prayer

In need, hesitate never

Pray to Him with love

He listens, reciprocates with love.

In times of darkness seek Him

Never sign of weakness, trust Him

Fit, be on   our   own   strength.

You appeal, He heals

In loss, anger, guilt, strength   He gives

Stress He makes it less

Showers   prosperity, anxiety   vanishes.
