Sometimes when I pray,
it feels like God’s far away
it’s as if He wasn’t there at all
when upon His name I call.
So I cry out even more,
as my requests I implore
hoping God will hear me
as to Him I make my plea.
Sometimes when I pray,
something gets in the way
it’s as if God can’t receive
the prayers to Him I leave.
The silence is deafening,
leaving me wondering
does God really bend His ear
so my prayers He can hear.
Sometimes when I pray,
it’s I, not God who is far away . . .
and I cannot hear His replies
to my beseeching cries!
~~~~~~~~
I have called upon thee,
for thou wilt hear me,
O God: incline thine ear
unto me, and hear my speech.

We certainly cannot go by our feelings, that is for sure! We all feel that from time to time! Good poem!
