Finished the “Prayerbusters” series yesterday. The last barrier to answered prayer was lack of faith or inadequate faith.

Late Saturday night on the road, I heard Martina McBride‘s song “Anyway,” and I thought it was perfect for what I wanted to convey…

You can spend your whole life buildin’
Something from nothin’
One storm could come and blow it all away
Build it anyway

You could chase a dream
That seems so out of reach
And you know it might not ever come your way
Dream it anyway

God is great but sometimes life ain’t good
And when I pray
It doesn’t always turn out like I think it should
But I do it anyway
I do it anyway

This world’s gone crazy
And it’s hard to believe
That tomorrow will be better than today
Believe it anyway

You can love someone with all you heart
For all the right reasons
And in a moment they can choose to walk away
Love ’em anyway

God is great but sometimes life ain’t good
And when I pray
It doesn’t always turn out like I think it should
But I do it anyway
Yeah I do it anyway

You can pour your soul out singin’
A song you believe in
Then tomorrow they’ll forget you ever sang
Sing it anyway
Yeah sing it anyway

I sing
I dream
I love anyway
