Poetry

---

When I am troubled,
and in that contradictory, ironic place,
thinking that no one knows how I feel,
The Lord hears my prayers.

Yet the Lord does not always
answer my prayers directly,
Sometimes I only see the answer
During reflection of the day’s events.

Regardless of the result,
The Lord hears my prayers,
He may not answer the way I would prefer,
But the Lord hears my prayers.

I may not be listening,
or I may be stubbornly wanting more,
I may not hear what he’s trying to
tell me,
But the Lord hears my prayers.

The Lord hears my prayers,
However and whenever I pray,
Even if I refuse to hear the answer,
The Lord hears my prayers.

That is the comfort
Of being a Christian,
I can rest easy knowing
That the Lord hears my prayers.
