Luke 18:1
“Then He [Jesus] spoke a parable to them, that men always ought to pray and not lose heart,”
Last Sunday marked the end of the planned dozen weeks in the Sunday Songs Series. However, since I did not mention that fact to officially conclude the series, I decided to add one more song this week. Because TGP’s entire ministry is based on prayer, what song could be better than “Sweet Hour of Prayer”?
I first remember coming to like this song as an eighth grader living in Happy, Texas. I would think about the words while I was doing housework, and for some reason, it made me also think of my Grandma Ballard. She had passed away several years prior, and I don’t know if she ever especially liked the song or not, but I could picture her praying while she did housework. At any rate, “Sweet Hour of Prayer” captures a sense of the refuge for the soul that prayer has always been to God’s people. May we all be encouraged to continue coming before our Father’s throne in prayer all the days of our earthly pilgrimage.
Listen to “Sweet Hour of Prayer”:

- Pray for Christians the world over to find refuge in prayer to their Father today.
- Pray for a lost person hearing a believer’s prayer to want that kind of a relationship with God, and accept His offer of salvation.
- Many times Christians pray for years before they see the answer to a particular request. Pray for the Lord to bring provision for some of those long prayed for needs today.
