[Biblemat] Poem, Those Unanswered Prayers

Those Unanswered Prayers
By Kenneth E. Thomas
Those unanswered prayers we wonder
"Why must He so often say no?"
We ask in faith knowing He can give
He’s in charge of all things we know!
He has been given from the Father above
"all authority in heaven and in earth"
So why does it seem when I ask in faith
For "yes" answers there’s such a dearth?
Then I come to my own mortal senses
And I thank Him for saying, "No"
For should I get what I think I need
It may be bad for me don’t you know?!
I don’t think I need these hardships
But the testing of my faith is good
For it builds up character within me
So I trust Him for all things as I should!
So help me Lord to rely on Your wisdom
To always say "not my will but Thine"
Then I will be able to accept "no" answers
Which You give me from time to time!
(Jas. 1:2-8, 12,17; Rom. 5:3-4; Matt. 27:38,39;
Matt. 28:18; Eph. 1:22-23; 5:23; Lk. 18:1-14; Jas. 5:13-18)
