Without HOPE, all is lost but with it, all things are possible. Prayers get answered, happiness becomes real and love grows. This post called I prayed for you, was inspired by a song I heard recently by Matt Stell. It really resonated with me and with it, I’m going to share some things from my heart. The song itself was written about a man praying for a soulmate and he found her. Well of course it reminds me of Mr. Nine, but there are also many other things in my life that I prayed for prior to occurring.
and I’ll keep these events private, but I hope it inspires you to look at things before they even become a reality:
and I’ll keep these events private, but I hope it inspires you to look at things before they even become a reality:
Didn’t see your face, before I knew your name, but I prayed for you! When all my hope was lost, when all my dreams were dashed, I prayed for you! Mistakes and broken glass, yeah, I prayed for you! I knew you were there, I just didn’t know where, so I prayed for you! Then you came along and I prayed for you!
Didn’t see your face, before I knew your name, but I prayed for you! Knowing you’d be mine, knowing you’d be my heart, I prayed for you. Hoping you’d be healthy, knowing you’d be loved, yeah, I prayed for you! Then you came along and I prayed for you!
Didn’t see your face, before I knew your name, but I prayed for you! Then you came along, only to be gone and I prayed for you. When the angels held you, yes, I prayed for you! Knowing you were always mine, knowing I’d see you again, yes, I prayed for you!
Didn’t see your face, before I knew your name, but I prayed for you! More love for this broken heart, yes, I prayed for you! Not of my own blood, but of my soul, yes, I prayed for you!
Didn’t see your face, before I knew
your name, but I prayed for you! A ball of fur, to bring us joy, yeah, I prayed for you! Every single day, every unconditional way, yes, I prayed for you! Carried you til the end and I prayed for you!
When your loved ones hurt, when your love one’s bleed when your love one’s frown, yes, I pray for you! When you’re all alone, when you can’t go on, yes, I pray for you. Each and every day, know that there’s a way and that I pray for you!
Hope it’s never lost, and when it is found, it’s pure joy. But we need to continue to pray for it and nurture it so it can prosper even more when that hope sometimes fades in and out.
Every one of you who reads this, even if I’ve never seen your face or don’t know your name, know that I pray for you!

Praying is something that I do on a daily basis. It brings me peace and It's a connection that I always keep open because when life happens, I just know where to go and who to talk to. And I know even before I open my mouth, that He knows. I hope you had a beautiful weekend and happy Monday.

This is a beautiful post. I haven't heard the song before, but I will be searching for it next. I resonate a lot with this post. It's amazing how we can go through incredibly difficult times and still find hope and feel lifted up by God and by others.
ReplyDeleteThis just touched my heart!!! Prayer - how powerful... We just had a conversation about how if we really knew how powerful it was, it would be our first reaction & not a last resort to do.
ReplyDeleteJust beautiful and so heartfelt!
ReplyDeleteSo beautiful and touching. Thank you for posting, my friend. I didn't even realize how much I needed to read this today. Love you!!
