I'm praying to you Lord, for somebody who knows you Lord, but......just hasn't been seeing you in the right view lately.
Father, I'm prayin for a friend. He and I are pretty close,
And out of all my friends, for this one I'm concerned the most.
He says he's readin daily, but he ain't really learnin.
He's been in church, but he Ain't moved by any sermon.
His face weak.... Hasn't prayed in a week.
He wakes up and just weeps, with his face in a sink.
Lord, you've got to help my man... I'm prayin for him daily.
He ain't seeing..... and it just seems as if He's going crazy!
He says he's feeling trapped, can't even hit up the mall,
because every lady is half dressed tempting him to lust and fall.
He keeps the tv off.... videos just make him feel,
that he is nothing without money, girls, and shiny wheels.
The other day he told me that he felt less of a man,
because he didn't have a 5 year plan, or a piece of land.
And man it's crazy, cause his family thinks so much of him,
Plus he's got a Godly wife who's always showing love for him.
But he's struggling, even though he talks to me...
But he doesn't listen to me when I tell him that he ought to be.
I'm scared for him, because there's people that look up to him.
He's got some younger siblings that have been changed by what he's done for them.
But is it done for him? Lord don't let it be.
If he don't want to talk to you, then father hear from me.
Is it done for him? Lord don't let it be.
If he don't want to talk to you, then father hear from me.
Now his condition has worsened since we were last conversing.
I'm with him now and he ain't doing well, of this I'm certain.
He says he's tryin to trust You, doesn't want to disgust You,
but he was in the midst of sinners and did not discuss You.
And just today his anxieties got the best of him.
He knows Christ, but for hours refused to rest in Him.
He's not the best of men, but Lord, I know he really loves You.
and I can't understand why lately he's not thinking of You.
People trust this dude, You could crush this dude.
Father, he needs more of You, I pray You touch this dude.
What can I say to him? I'm determined to pray for him.
Father empty and break him, I pray You'll just have Your way with him.
Cause there's a change in him, and the effects are strong.
I pray you'll open up his heart cause it's been so long.
And when he gets home, I'll pray he'll open up
this 66 book love letter You wrote for him, and soak it up.
Because he ain't hearing You, and he ain't feeling me.
And God I know it's killing You, because it's killin me.
And matter of fact, there's something else he's concealing...see,
The person that I've been praying about is really me."
- Lecrae (with some grammer changes
) This song really touched me when I heard it earlier this week....I'm sure we all have friends who are struggling through tough issues like this..... but how often do we realize it when we ourselves are dealing with all the same problems........As Jesus said... "You should remove the plank from your own eye before tryin to remove a speck of dirt from your neighbor's eye."
Who says all Rap music is of the devil?
