YOUR PRAYERS COUNT

The most effective prayers are a mom’s prayer for her children. There are no prayers elsewhere that can influence me other than yours. When you pray for me, you walk before me towards the future. No prayer can be as effective as your prayers; it is oil to my lamp.

I know you do know the power of bended knees. Every day I see you go on your knees beside the bed speaking to God on my behalf. You believe that the best I can be is in the hands of God the Almighty who sees the future. Whatever influence you have on me, it is irrelevant if you do not put it before the source of life. I know wherever a child goes, a prayer has gone there and I know you have prayed my future into existence. Those words you say on your bed with respect to me really counts, they are door openers.

This is a poetic version of a mother’s prayers for her daughter.

My heavenly father,

I am just a care taker,

you have given me this daughter,

I can’t ask for anything better,

you made her for your purpose,

her songs are well composed.

Thank you for taking her through those

growing years,

she has been able to fight down her

fears.

give her more courage,

let her have godly rage,

make her dreams come through,

let her know it came through you.

she has to be a blessing to the world,

for this reason,

her light has got to shine.

if it’s not like the sun, it’s not fine,

let her know mama cares,

give her the strength to fight my tears,

my words may just be few,

but it counts when it’s you.

grant her favor,

let her eat the fruit of her labor,

teach her the power of her smiles,

let her know the effect goes miles.

propel her to be just like you,

she has to live for you too.

don’t forget my labors upon her head,

help me to guide her as I am led.

I only pray with this words,

I know its effects cut like a sword,

let her find the right man,

he does not have to be a super human,

one that will honor and adore her,

one who would allow her drive him in

his car,

help her to be faithful to him,

let love in their family beam

he is not going to be lazy,

I sure know he will be a whiz,

and when she is at work every day,

let her be an epitome of a ray of hope.

she has to be at the top,

we both know her place is up,

and when she becomes a mother,

let her be the best of mothers.

she would have children flock her,

they would be superstars like her,

i'd be a grandma too.

and my grandson will be my boo,

her children will lead the class,

they will always come first.

we both know you hear me

they would be a great tree.

just a few words father,

for your humble caretaker.

Wow what a prayer mom. I am sure your prayer for me carries the same tone and even more. I need it badly. You have to prepare my ground and you have to keep it wet.

With love

Your beloved daughter
