'Prayers I Didn't Pray' by We the Least: A Heartfelt Tribute to Prayers Others Prayed for Us


We the Least released a song called 'Prayers I Didn't Pray.' It's one of those songs that gets you thinking and realizing the value that prayers have, spoken by the special people in our lives for us and over us. People who have been prayed tirelessly for us throughout our lives, shaping us into who we are today. Yes, that is how powerful the prayers can be that others are praying for us! You too have the ability to pray for others, and make a difference! With that in mind, this song also becomes a beautiful reminder to also thank God for all of the prayers that we didn't dare to speak, but others were praying for us. 

We the Least - Prayers I Didn't PrayThe opening lines of this song are what I call a 'yes, indeed'-moment: 'Long before I ever got here // Mom and dad folded hands for a year // Asking Heaven for one of their own to share life with. // I didn't ask for this, but I'm so glad that they did.' It's so true, and there are more prayers said for us that we are completely unaware of. Prayers by parents that we make the right choices. And what do you think about praying for a faithful spouse, and praying for a future together: 'Long before I even met her, She asked you if we'd end up together. If I was the one who'd be there through the good and the worst of it. No I didn't ask for this, but I'm so glad that she did.' Praying for each other makes a huge difference in relationships. 

We all need a reminder from time to time of God's unwavering care: 'The thing I find most sweet is you take care of me, Despite how tired and distant I can be.' Even when words fail us, God's grace and kindness don't change.

So, take a moment and listen to 'Prayers I Didn't Pray'. May this song open your eyes to the unseen blessings and the power of prayer that is shaping our lives, and maybe even more important, the blessing others will receive from the 'prayers they didn't pray'.
