When you think your prayers aren’t going through
Please know that God still hears you
When it seems as if your words do not rise
Please know they go beyond the sky

When you think God has closed his ears
Your prayers are heard for he still hears
Even when the words don’t come
God will hear and always give you some

God, receive my prayers into your hands – every word
And, God, take my prayers and let me know that I am heard
God hears my prayers

When it seems as if an answer is not given
The answer is known in heaven
When it hurts too much to speak
God will strengthen the tongue that’s weak

When praying seems too hard
Just be still and know that he is God
It’s enough to feel him near
It’s enough to wipe away your tears

When the clouds form
And you’re in the storm
And you’re in the darkest night
When your heart breaks
And your world shakes
And your God is not in sight

God, receives your prayers into his hands – every word
And God takes your prayers and lets you know that you are heard
God hears your prayers
