Do You Pray as if It Matters?

Do you pray as if it matters?
Do you pray as if God hears?
Do you trust it makes a difference
Now and in the coming years?

Do you ask for what you’re wanting?
Do you ask for what you need?
Do you trust God always hears you
When you come and humbly plead?

Do you tell Him what you’re thinking?
Do you tell Him like He cares?
Do you trust He wants to guide you
While your load He gladly bears?

Do you run to Him in trouble?
Do you run to Him with praise?
Do you trust His changeless promise
He’ll be near through all your days?
