I often pray through singing or writing poems.  Here are two prayers for a brother and a sister of mine:
 
Save My Brother
 
 
Open his eyes so he can see,
Banish the darkness, set him free!
 
Loose the bonds of stubborn pride,
Shine light in places he would hide.
 
Take his heart and make it new,
Reveal Yourself so he'll follow You.
 
Teach him love is the only way,
Father, save my brother!
Save him today!
 
Amen.

Free My Sister
 
Father she can't find you,
She's longing for the truth.
She needs Your revelation,
She's searching for the proof.
 
Show her You're a Father
And You can set her free.
Show her that You're kind and good,
That You're everything she needs.
 
Speak to her within her heart,
Let her know she's loved.
Help her to believe that, God,
You're always there above.
 
Father, free my sister!
Help her know You're really there,
Let her know You love her,
Oh God, let her know You care!
