Dear friend,
I’d like to share a very powerful poem with you today. It was written by my late husband Wayne Dillard who is now in heaven. Even if you don’t have enough time to read the WHOLE thing, just read one stanza.
Let God speak to your heart.
It’s Time to Pray
When all my time is running out
And anxious thoughts are all about.
When darkness looms and peace has fled
And I can find no rest in bed.
It’s Time To Pray!
When no one seems to look my way
And loneliness is here to stay.
When comfort from my friends is dry
And tears begin to fill my eye.
It’s Time To Pray!
When troubles multiply around
And obstacles are all I’ve found.
When the road is rough and hot and long
And “I’ll never make it.” becomes my song.
It’s Time To Pray!
When needs arise and challenges face
And the battle calls me to my place.
When I am dressed and ready to fight
And I know my cause is just and right.
It’s Time To Pray!
When the foe is down and I am up
And it’s time to drink the victor’s cup.
When my heart is strong and emotions high
And I feel like an eagle in the sky.
It’s Time To Pray!
When all my thoughts have come to rest
And nothing could disturb my nest.
When peace is liquid in my heart
And I know that I have done my part.
It’s Time To Pray!
In anxious thoughts or lonesome cry,
Or as adversity draws nigh.
In challenge and in victory,
Or peace that comes to comfort me.
No matter what the day may bring,
Or the kind of song my heart may sing.
In all my ways I acknowledge Him,
He is the vine, I am the limb.
It’s Time To Pray!
~Wayne Dillard
May the Lord meet YOU in a special way.
In His love and mine,

I love this prayer. It’s a reminder that it’s time to pray.
Beautiful and so needed and true today…lets pray for our nations, countries, regions, families and churches
That is a beautiful poem and so encouraging.
Dear Kathleen,
You must miss him terribly! What a beautiful poem. It brought me a wonderful feeling!
I plan to send it to several friends – maybe tomorrow as I need to get to bed.
Thanks so much!
Blessings,

Very nice poen?
That was so beautiful,so true. We need God more than ever right now to heal our broken country and turn our hearts back to Him.
Bless you Martha, and SO true. God rewards our prayers, thankfully. And the need for healing is far beyond a human remedy.

Keep shining His light~

Thank you so much for sharing this! With all the chaos in the world and our country right now, this has reminded me that I HAVE TO TURN TO HIM – to look at the positive things He is doing in the world. This has reminded me that I need to be still and seek time with Him above everything else. Prayer is so vital right now for all our lives.
Such a poem for today! Remembering precious Wayne as we are spurred on to pray!! Thank you!!
