Prayer

[jrepp]

Prayer, that most intimate call for assistance
Prayer, the thing that allows our existence
It is a conversation between God and His people
Not necessarily done underneath the steeple

It is a thing of pure love that God gave to all
And I know He hears us when we call
He hears that mother praying in the dead of night
Praying that her child is safe and all right

He hears that drug addict in the depths of Satan's hold
Calling out for help, from Satan's grasp to be paroled
He hears that homeless one crying out in loneliness
Praying for God to help them out of their mess

He hears that Father praying for his mate
Praying, crying for help, hoping it is not too late
He hears every sinner that hits their knees
He hears all of our plaintive, heartfelt pleas

He may not answer right away
He may make us pray and pray
But He will answer all our prayers one day
Just remember He answers His way

Prayer, an intimate call for help from above
Prayer, given to us out of his love
Prayer, do it always giving thanks for everything
Prayer, you have His ear, and blessings it can bring

Wonderful poem my dear Brother,
Our God indeed is like none other,

He looks down in deepest love,
At each of us from up above.

No higher worship may be found,
Than when on our knees we bow down.

He shows us just how much he cares,
By the way He answers all our prayers.

I appreciate how your poems always leave a message and a lesson. God bless you and keep writing. Oh yeah, remember Charity never faileth!
