Devote yourselves to prayer with an alert mind and a thankful heart. ... Keep on praying. (Colossians 4:2;  1 Thessalonians 5:17 NLT)

This prayer's for the Lord. It is to His praise and His Honor that He hangs in with us, empowers us, graces us, and makes His light shine in our darkness. Thank you, Lord.
