(Style inspired by my great grandfather Yip Harburg’s song, “If I’m not near the girl I love, I love the girl I’m near” from the musical Finian’s Rainbow)
If you cannot foot the way and don’t have ways to travel…
travel lock-step with “The Way”!
If you’re full of questions on the truth of a big issue…
issue a prayer to “The Truth”!
If you’re feeling lifeless and just totally poured out…
pour out a plea to “The Life”!
If the Captain in your boat can calm the fiercest storm…
storm heaven to protect your calm!
See “the lion who prowls about, seeking to devour you” (1 Peter 3:15)?…
devour him by prayer to “Judah’s Lion”!
If the tempter feeds your pride and launches more attacks…
attack your pride with prayer!
If the One who gives you hope is the “Rock of Ages”…
rock you no one’s gonna!
