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.

When my heart, is overwhelmed
Lead me, to the rock
That is higher than I
My shelter… You unlock.

That instead, of selfish pleasures
Intercede, for more salvations
The Lord Jesus, returns soon
We must pray for all nations.

All God states, He will do
All He promises, fulfills
Cannot lie, nor deceive
So, wait upon Him, be still.

Yet God invites us, to pray
Participate, in His plans
Bids us ask, seek and knock
To seek His will, not man’s.

Unceasing prayer means victory
For then we truly lean
Not on our strength and wisdom
But heavenly power, unseen.

And so, despite facing testing
Know ‘tis but for a while
In the end, greater glory
So greet with joy, every trial.

So, remember they’re family
Forget not, stay prayerful
Your brothers and sisters
In Christ… do be faithful.

Do you seek to withdraw
To that innermost place?
There, we step aside
Meet the God of all grace.

LORD, teach me to pray
To wrestle in prayer
Persistent, prevailing
Your victories, declare.
