Today's Prayer

As I sat in my office today, I was overwhelmed with a spirit of prayer. As I yielded to it the Holy Spirit led me to pray over and for a variety of issues. That night as I pondered the prayer these words came to me.

Today’s Prayer

Rev. Dr. Winston Watson
May 15, 2009

At times my heart ponders
and I wonder why God uses me
Inspires my heart with a sense of wonder
And instructs me to announce His decree

Today for example as I sat at my desk
His spirit was apparent and my thought he did arrest

He began to use my own tongue
To call for a mountain to be gone

We spoke to this mountain that stood in our way
As the word was applied, it could no longer stay

In my spirit I was then clearly shown
The hearts and souls that he called his own

Decree after decree, calling souls to rest
We put his unfailing word to the test

A call went forth for those in the east
A call for them to enter this blessed peace

In every direction was his call sent
No one would remain in a sinners lament

Then I moved into the sky upward
And began to prayer for nations eastward

For over the African plains I did fly
In the spirit Satan I would defy

I called for our Father’s hand to never fail
That his open heaven in this nation would prevail

We spoke to the heaven of heavens above
And called for His spirit to descend as a dove

O dear Father, our hearts delight
Come and dwell with us tonight
