One Word Prayers

The other day I came across this in one of my online devotionals.  I wanted to share it with you all.  It also made me think of how I could pray for my children using one word to focus on with God.  So below you'll find the words I chose for each of my children to pray on. 

 (I did not write the beautiful words below in the poem)

I just breathe the name of "Jesus"

when my heart is filled with fear.

And though I cannot see His face,

I know that He is near.

When I whisper "Jesus" softly

I'm admitting I'm in need.

By calling out that precious name,

my stress-bound soul is freed.

It's a one-word prayer I utter 

when I'm not sure what to pray.

It's a prayer of sweet surrender

when I'm weary of "my way".

I pray "Jesus" when I'm worried

or when I'm depressed.

I say "Jesus" when my mind's confused

or when my life's a mess.

It's a prayer He always answers

as He gives me eyes to see

evidences of His presence

and His tender love for me.
