Sweet Hour of Prayer

I felt drawn to kneel in prayer just to express thanks.  Just to connect with my Father.
I quickly knelt by the chair in the living room and expressed the feelings in my heart.

I got up from my prayer and walked into the family room.  As I glanced over at the
piano, I thought to myself, I should play a hymn.  This alone was an unusual thought.
I haven't played a song on the piano for probably years now.  But I sat on the bench
looked at the hymn book which lay open on the piano.

The hymn before me was "Sweet Hour of Prayer"

I played it (again a miracle-did I say I haven't really played in years).

Such a profound feeling of peace and worship came over me.  I cast my burdens.
How thankful I am for sweet hour of prayer!

Sweet hour of prayer! sweet hour of prayer!
That calls me from a world of care,
And bids me at my Father’s throne
Make all my wants and wishes known.
In seasons of distress and grief,
My soul has often found relief
And oft escaped the tempter’s snare
By thy return, sweet hour of prayer!

Sweet hour of prayer! sweet hour of prayer!
Thy wings shall my petition bear
To Him whose truth and faithfulness
Engage the waiting soul to bless.
And since He bids me seek His face,
Believe His Word and trust His grace,
I’ll cast on Him my every care,
And wait for thee, sweet hour of prayer!
