Our Prayers

The Lord doesn’t answer our prayers
because of our “good” deeds.
His answer isn’t always “yes”,
but He DOES supply our needs.

 And He doesn’t “owe” us anything,
but rather, we owe Him.
So put your prayers before the Throne,
and He will answer them!

 Sometimes His answer’s “Yes, My child!”
if we ask within His will.
Sometimes it’s “Wait a little bit.”…
just listen, and be still.

Sometimes His answer’s merely “No,
that wouldn’t be good for you!”
Simply put your trust in Him,
and be sure to thank Him, too!

Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God.  Philippians 4:6
