Why Unanswered Prayer?

Know God answers our prayer
By His rules, not mine
So, be willing to wait on Him
His terms and schedule, divine.

As our nation has strayed
Turned far from our God
May Your people repent
Ask the LORD, to respond

Not merely our words
But prayer, is our heart
Expressing our passions
Our most inner part.

So, persevering in prayer
Asking God, to guide
How to pray, what to claim
He’ll reply, and provide.

So, by faith offering God
What is pleasing to Him
Believe that He is
Rewards those seeking Him.

For prayers, still unanswered
God, speak to my ear
Are there steps I should take?
And if not…persevere.

Born helpless and needy
Jesus came, just as we
But this risen Savior
Now sets captives free.

Be anxious for nothing
But in everything, by prayer
And supplication, with thanksgiving
Let God hear your cares.
