Unanswered Prayer ~

Unanswered prayers,
where do they go?
The answer to this,
everyone wants to know.

Do they aimlessly travel,
through time and space?
Do they fail to reach heaven,
and met up with God’s grace?

Unanswered prayers,
so many are made
and so often our faith
begins to dim and fade.

But, God has His reasons,
for not fulfilling our prayers
and it has nothing to do with
whether or not He still cares.

Unanswered prayers,
God has heard each one
and sometimes they go unfulfilled
when we don’t trust in His Son.

Sometimes they go by the wayside,
because of the bitterness we hold
and the root of unforgiveness
has made our hearts grow cold.

Sometimes it’s unconfessed sin,
that stands in the way
sometimes it’s the motives
we use when we pray.

Sometimes it’s our faith,
and our wavering doubt
sometimes it’s when we shut
God’s authority out.

But most of the time,
it’s because we’re too impulsive
and things have to be right
for God is never compulsive.

Unanswered prayers,
God has a good reason
and His answers will come
in their due season!
