Wednesday's Prayer

Steve Chapman, author and recording artist, wrote the following song (prayer) for his kids, who he prays for regularly. This is not Steven Curtis Chapman, but the Steve Chapman who writes the hunting books, With God on a Deer Hunt, and What a Hunter Brings Home, to name a couple.

Here is a prayer/lyric he wrote while hunting, and his stomach was growling! He believes (as do I) that regular prayer is a must for our children. It will bless both the child and the parent!

Wednesday's Prayer

Father God, to You I come

In the name of Your Son

I bring my children to Your throne

Father, hear my cry

Above all else, Lord, save their souls

Draw them near You, keep them close

Be the shield against their foes

Make them Yours, not mine

Give them peace in Christ alone

In their sorrow be their song

No other joy would last as long

Father, calm their fears

Guide their feet, Lord, light their paths

May their eyes on You be cast

Give their hands a Kingdom task,

A purpose for their years

And as my flesh cries out for bread

May I hunger, Lord, instead

That my children would be fed

On Your words of life

So, Father God, to You I come

In the name of Your Son

I bring my children to Your throne

Father, hear my cry

Steve Chapman

AMEN!
