Analysis of Pray



We need to pray.
Children get on your knees.
Warriors, it is time to fight.
It is time to pray.   

Seek me in prayer.
I will give you answers.
I will provide and meet your needs,
I am your shield of protection.
Come to me.

Let me heal your heart.
Let me lead you.
Hear my word.

I am showing up.
I am the truth.
I am the way.
I will find you.
Pray.
