1 Thessalonians 5:16-18

¹⁶Rejoice always, ¹⁷pray without ceasing, ¹⁸give thanks in all circumstances; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you.


“He who sings,” said St. Augustine, “prays twice.” The holy Bishop of Hippo meant that singing adds to our praise and worship of God—that our voices are gifts, with which we can make music to the Lord.  Sung prayer expresses the joy of the heart, the happiness resulting from one who has encountered Jesus Christ and experienced Christ's love.  Sung prayer reminds us of the choirs of heaven, with whom we are called to praise God eternally in heaven.

I think, The Prayer, sung by father and daughter duo, Mat and Savanah Shaw, is sufficient for the day.

Click on the song and the link to their YouTube video will show up just below the song for you to click and play.  It is one of the best versions I've ever heard of this beautiful duet.  May it's music fill you with hope today.

Remember to Stop, Drop, and Pray!
