on the Wings of Prayer

Just close your eyes and Open your heart,

and feel your worries and cares depart

Just yield yourself to the Father above,

and let Him hold you secure in his love

For life on earth grows more involved

with endless problems that can’t be solved,

but God only asks us to do our best,

then He will ‘take over’ and finish the rest.

So when you are tired, discouraged and blue,

there’s always one door that is open to you,

and that is the door to ‘The House of Prayer’,

and you’ll find God waiting to meet you there.

And ‘The House of Prayer’ is no farther away,

than the quiet spot where you kneel and pray.

For the heart is the temple when God is there

as we place ourselves in His loving care.

And He hears every prayer and answers each one,

when we pray in His name ‘Thy will be done’.

And the burdens that seemed too heavy to bear

are lifted away on ‘The Wings of Prayer’.


I have carried this little poem with me right from school – so many changes, so many purses but this little piece of paper still remains with me! I don’t know its significance nor am I an expert in the power of faith healing, but reading this poem in times of solitude, grief or pure devotion, has only lifted me higher. Maybe, it does have some power after all. Today, on this beautiful occasion of Christmas, I share this simple yet powerful poem. Celebrating the birth of the holy Christ, may this poem help one and all.
