A Song In Our Heart
DON’T STOP PRAYING (a song to fill our hearts with)
Don’t stop praying
Don’t stop calling on Jesus’ name
Keep on pounding on Heaven’s door
And let your knees wear out the floor
Don’t stop believing
‘Cause mountains move with just a little faith
And your Father’s heard every single word you’re saying
So, don’t stop praying
-Matthew West, lyrics from “Don’t Stop Praying”
I love Matthew West’s new song, Don’t Stop Praying!!!! It’s encouragement for the weary heart. He touches on it all, friends. Devotion to prayer can be hard at times and I feel like this song is just what we all need to hear from time to time.
Even when answers don’t come and we are exhausted and feel defeated…we need to keep praying!! Listen to the lyrics Matthew West sings and DON’T STOP PRAYING!! Friends, our Heavenly Father hears every word!! So…
What weighs down your heart?
Give it all over to God! The impossible, the healing, the miracle…He’s listening!! All the brokenness and pain, the never-ending tears, the addiction and sickness…God knows!! Lay it all at His feet. Keep on pounding on Heaven’s door. Let your knees wear out the floor.
Don’t stop believing!!
Don’t stop praying!!
“Rejoice always, pray without ceasing, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you.”
1 Thessalonians 5:16-18 (ESV)
