Watchful and Thankful Prayer

Colossians 4:2

Devote yourselves to prayer, being watchful and thankful.

Devote yourselves to prayer, being watchful and thankful.

If there is one thing that you do this year, I hope that it is prayer that is watchful and thankful.

devote yourselves to prayer

is what the Bible states

and do it with thanksgiving

a tender heart it makes

but also do it watchfully

and do it with much care

and give away the faith you hold

so bountiful yet rare

and do not heistate to tell

your friend or neighbor why

you kneel before the living God

with hands held to the sky

for nothing shall defeat you

if you give it all to God

and nothing will ashame you

when they lay you 'neath the sod

pray with watchful eyes

and pray with thankful hearts

and His joy will be completed

when the Holy Spirit starts
