So many of us think of praying as a opportunity to ask God for something (fortune, health, relationships, etc.), but shouldn''t it be more like two friends talking and supporting one another?
Lyrics:
Prayer (The Steering Wheel Song)
c2012 D. Opfer/M. Townley
Prayer used to be a shopping list of all my wants and needs
Or like a 911 call for some emergency
And when I didn’t get the answers I was hoping for
Couldn’t see the reason to pray much anymore
But when I reached the point of nowhere else to turn
Said okay Lord I’m listening and it was like I heard
Prayer’s not a backup plan
A list of your demands
It’s not heaven’s vendin’ machine
It’s talkin’ with your best friend
Spendin’ time listenin’
Why wait ‘till you break down to tell God how you feel
Prayer’s not the spare tire it’s the steering wheel
I’ve learned I can’t always expect God’s answer to be yes
That sometimes when I get a no well it can mean not yet
And no matter what the outcome I know I’m not alone
‘Cause any time I wanna talk I’ve got a place to go
I pray a lot more often since I’ve learned what it’s about
I’m headed in the right direction since I figured out
CHORUS
It’s amazing how far you can get when you kneel
CHORUS
