  • God inspired this song and it speaks encouragement into my life. God Bless you all.

  • I listened to this for the first time today. When I leave I will get down on my knees and pray for every nonbeliever that has not found the Lord. Merry Christmas to all!

  • Great!!!!

  • As you listen to these words a little boy with cancer needs your prayers, Please pray for Adam Hoscher.

  • I love my Great Uncle Ricky! I remember him singing this to me when i had surgery while holding my hand. It brings me to tears every time i hear it! Right now is terribly hard in our family, because my fiancee is deployed and the day Ryan shipped out my Uncle Ricky Skaggs sang it to us the night before.

  • This is one of my favorite songs to sing as a special at church. I recently started singing this song in August and people at the church just love when I sing it and I just sang it this pass Sunday. This song has alot of meaning to it. I know there have been people on their knees praying for me. It's good to have prayer warriors.

  • James 5:16

    "...pray one for another, that ye may be healed. The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much"

    I prasie God for the prayers that lead me to Jesus Christ!

  • Ricky does a great job as always and gets a little touch from heaven as well

  • Even as an Atheist, I can't hold back my tears when I listen to this song.

  • This song brings such a blessing to me. I know it does to everyone who listens. I have so many I pray for and I know I have many who pray for me. Thank you so much and God Bless you for sharing.

  • I had a hard time when dad died but a new preacher came to my church who knew my father and came to see me and prayed with me for a long time and help me to see my father is in such a better place,HEAVEN. I eventually moved away and found out my former preacher died years ago and I will never forget how he prayed for me and gave me hope for life.I miss him so much and I am so thankful for this beautiful song from Ricky Skaggs and I listen to it often because it helps me to live everyday!

  • Lord, Thank you for precious Mamie Sutterfield who prayed for me when I was using and dealing drugs. Mamie would try to witness to me and said she was adopting me as a grandson. I don't know if I would have gotten saved had it not been for this precious woman's prayers. I've been drug free for over 30 years now thanks to her prayers. If you have a loved one on drugs keep praying and interceding for them, pray God send the right harvesters into your family members

  • To my friend, Christine. I'm prayin' for you, Steenie!

  • I can't imagine 9 ppl NOT liking this video, they must not have watched the whole thing. Why put negative comments, just go to the heavy metal department like you should have to begin with. God is awesome and prayers have got me to this point in my life, won't be without them ever! God Bless all who watched this, thanks for posting for believers like myself!

  • Someone, no lots of people have been saying very special prayers for my family since February. My father was diagnosed with Stage 4 metastaic lung cancer and was in remission for a month and it has come back now with a venegence. Today we decided along with the dr to stop the chemo because the cancer is so advanced. We know God is watching over us and will help us through this very difficult time. Thank all those somebody's who are praying for us.

  • I bought Ricky's album "My Father's Son' back in the 90's....fell in love with the entire album.....until I listened to "Some Body's Prayin'"....then I wept.

    One of my favorite songs of all time, for I can truly relate to it.

  • My Mama prayed for me everyday of my life and I can still feel it though she has gone to Heaven. So I pray for my daughter today who is in pain and crying due to the ongoing cruelty of my sister. I'm praying for my sister too, for God to remove the meanness and cruelty from her heart and refill it with love and peace at age 65.

  • This song has been a wonderful blesing to me. I was going through a terrible dark valley in my life a few months back. I felt hopeless...like a failure...scared and alone...like my prayers were falling on deaf ears. I thank my Heavenly Father above that somebody was praying for me through that dark time. My mom. My dad. My two friends. Those prayers helped me to hold on...and I thank God tonight that He has been faithful...never leaving my side. Thanks for this wonderful gift.

  • I just got back from a Women's Retreat at True Adventure Sports. We went on an extreme nighttime hike, over and under rocks and boulders and caving. When we reached what is called the "Throne Room", we worshiped God in total darkness. It was such a beautiful experience. This song will always remind me of that.

  • I played this song daily during my son's 2 tours in Baghdad. I think it's all that kept me sane.

  • Somebody prayed for me-when I was widowed at the age of 25 years-somebody prayed for me when I lost custody of my daughters-somebody prayed for me when when I found out my sister committed suicide in 1999-somebody prayed for me when I found out I had cancer in 03 and was completely healed-somebody prayed for me when my house was illegally foreclosed on and my family had nowhere else to go-somebody prayed for me when I needed a job and there were none anywhere to be found and I got a job!AMEN

  • @lublarryb Amen!

  • i love this song. can ' t stop crying.

  • I began to think of ALL the people who have prayed for me.. and it moved me to tear.. and I began to pray for them.. thank you Lord for for all the people who have prayed for me. 

  • Making my life easier day by day, Love it!

  • I love this song.....just beautiful....

  • i just got back from a camp called kyrios and whenever we got a letter saying that somebody was praying for our camp we sang this song. im so glad i found it because i really liked it but i couldn't remember all of the words. :)

  • Angels are watching over us all time. We pray for others and ourselves and the Lord answers us, He is amazing! Prayer is a powerful weapon against evil. Lord I am thankful for the prayer warriors praying out there. Right now I need strength and courage and I know somebody will be praying for me.

  • I love this song. It lifts me up everytime I hear it. It reminds me that my parents are always praying for me and their other children. I forwarded this to several friends to let them know they are not alone and that I am thinking of them. God Bless

  • Good Lord, it gets better with the years, doesn't it?

  • Ricky at his absolute best....may God bless him and may God bless you hoover for putting this wonderful video up. I did this song at my church and just like it was for Ricky it was hard for me to get through this song because it just spoke to me so much about the love that Jesus has for me and that His love is so perfect and so powerful that it causes many people to bow down in other areas of the world and pray for God's Will for our lives.

  • I lost my best friend (my Dad) on November 19, 2009. Part of me died Dad when I lost you. I feel so empty without you. I know that someday I will see you in heaven again. God please keep him safe and happy until I can touch that sweet face again. I love you Dad and miss you so much.

  • amen

  • To Dadsgirl0423 - I just saw your post and my heart ached knowing you lost your Dad Nov 29 2008. I can understand your empty feeling. As a parent, I can also say your Dad would want you to be a strong girl (woman), to succeed in life. Bring back that part of you that died with him and do something special in his memory to share with someone. In this way, you can do something, like write a poem in his memory and read it to the elderly at a nursing home, for example.

  • I just have to say I so in my case! I could use it.

  • My wife Lisa and children Jessica & Jimmy. I love you very much and pray for you every day. May God bless you and give peace and a sense of purpose in life.

  • This song helps me to know that when ever i go through struggles in my life that i can trust that there are people praying for me.

  • How I PRAISE God for the angels He has sent to watch over me. How I PRAISE God for His Son Jesus who takes my prayers to His Father, How I PRAISE God for giving us His Son to die for us. Praise God for the Love of those who love me and are praying for me. My prayers are for those of you on here who Know and Love Him, and to those who don't may you come to know the awesome Love that Jesus has for you. God Bless you all.

  • For Kevin, Matthew, Rebecca, and Joshua.....i'm praying for you every day~never forget it~for you see, love is the cross i bear, for love of you~forever.

We lost our son, Josh, (CPT Joshua Byers) on July 23, 2003, (my birthday) and he was a West Point grad and had listened to this song a lot when he was a Plebe at West Point and loved it. He loved the Lord and his country.
