VERSE 1
What’s your impossible
Your “I need a miracle”
What’s got you barely hanging
By a single thread
What looks so hopeless now
What weighs down your heart
with doubt
You beg for a breakthrough but
No sign of breakthrough yet
Your “I need a miracle”
What’s got you barely hanging
By a single thread
What looks so hopeless now
What weighs down your heart
with doubt
You beg for a breakthrough but
No sign of breakthrough yet

don’t know why
And you wonder if you can bow
your head
Even one more time

Don't Stop Praying - In the Bible [Verses & Devotional]
Matthew West's song "Don't Stop Praying" is a powerful anthem of faith, resilience, and the power of prayer. It echoes the sentiments found in 1 Thessalonians 5:17, where we are urged to "pray without ceasing." The song's lyrics speak to the heart of anyone who has ever felt the weight of despair, the sting of disappointment, or the ache of a seemingly unanswered prayer.
The song begins with a poignant question, "What's your impossible?" This question resonates with the biblical account of the angel Gabriel's words to Mary in Luke 1:37, "For nothing will be impossible with God." The song and this verse remind us that even in the face of seemingly insurmountable challenges, we serve a God for whom nothing is impossible.
The chorus of the song is a rallying cry to "Don't stop praying, don't stop calling on Jesus' name." This echoes the sentiment found in Philippians 4:6, "Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God." The song and this verse remind us that prayer is not just a last resort, but a first response.
The song also speaks to the power of faith, with the lyrics, "'Cause mountains move with just a little faith." This is a direct reference to Matthew 17:20, where Jesus says, "If you have faith as small as a mustard seed, you can say to this mountain, 'Move from here to there,' and it will move. Nothing will be impossible for you."
The song concludes with a powerful refrain, "Don't stop, don't stop praying." This echoes the sentiment found in Ephesians 6:18, "And pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests. With this in mind, be alert and always keep on praying for all the Lord's people."
As we reflect on the lyrics of this song and the corresponding Bible verses, we are reminded of the power of prayer, the importance of faith, and the assurance that God hears our prayers.
So, let's end with a thought-provoking question: How can we cultivate a lifestyle of unceasing prayer, even when we don't see immediate answers? How can we keep our faith strong, knowing that our prayers are heard, and that with God, nothing is impossible? Let's take this question into our daily lives, allowing it to shape our prayer life and strengthen our faith.
