Answer my prayers O Lord, for your unfailing love is wonderful. Take care of me.
– Psalm 69:16(NLT)
PLEA FOR ANSWERS
A poem and essay by ILMA
Lord, I plead you to answer my prayers
I won’t make it without you in all my struggles
Take care of me day and night so I can overcome
Give me strength and pour in me all of your wisdom.
When I am weak, assist me to speak out your truth
Help me to sow your words in me so it can take root
Please be with me especially in all of life’s challenges
You alone can bring fruit and make all the changes.

Have you ever felt frustrated when you don’t get answered prayers? I know I have been upset many times in the past when the answers I am waiting for doesn’t happen. God is faithful and that is one of his greatest traits. When we don’t get the result that we visualized, it doesn’t mean that he hasn’t answered our prayers. Sometimes the answer is “no” or “not now”. We don’t know what is always good for us, but He does. When the timing is not right for whatever he is working on us, he will not let you have it yet. He is an all-knowing God and he is always after your best interest. Never allow impatience to set in. Waiting for God’s timing is good for us.
