Awhile ago,
I said me a prayer
asking God to help me
with one of my cares.
I waited patiently,
for Him to reply
but, I heard not a word
as time went by.
At first I was grieved,
by God’s silence
for, I so needed Him
to give me guidance.
But, as the days went on,
my faith grew stronger
and my doubt in Him
deterred me no longer.
Then one day I saw,
much to my surprise . . .
His answer was always
right before my eyes!
~~~~~~~~
“But without faith it is impossible
to please him: for he that cometh
to God must believe that he is,
and that he is a rewarder of them
that diligently seek him.
“And, behold, a woman of Canaan
came out of the same coasts,
and cried unto him, saying,
Have mercy on me, O Lord,
thou son of David;
my daughter is grievously
vexed with a devil.
But he answered her not a word.
And his disciples came and
besought him, saying,
Send her away; for she
crieth after us.”
