I'm way down here! You're way up there!Are You sure You can hear my faint, faltering prayer?
For I'm so unsure of just how to pray--
To tell you the truth, God, I don't know what to say...
I just know I am lonely and vaguely disturbed,
Bewildered and restless, confused and perturbed...
And they tell me that prayer helps to quiet the mind
And to unburden the heart for in stillness we find
A newborn assurance that Someone does care
And someone does answer each small sincere prayer!

Good Afternoon Mimi,
I have been offline for a couple of days and am trying to catch up with everyone this afternoon. I hope to be able to do a post in the morning tho. "THANK YOU" for being concerned. We didn't get anything Severe here where I live, but it was all around us tho. "PRAISE GOD" for watching over us and protecting us. That is a beautiful and touching poem. "THANK YOU" for sharing it with us. Take care my friend and have a great day. May God Bless You and Yours.
Hugs,
Karen H.
Sometimes..that is exactly how
I feel, but I know God hears..and
loves us dearly.

This is beautiful. Sometimes it seems like it is impossible for God to hear me especially when I think about how many of us are here on Earth that He has to keep track of, but down in my heart I know that I know that I know that He does hear me and He loves me!
Blessings to you! Sharon
What a lovely poem. Thank you for sharing it. And thank you for keeping up with our preemies! They are so precious.
I went in and put up another picture that I forgot before - come back over if you have a minute!
Praise the Lord that He does hear (and answer) our prayers! Thank you for sharing this poem.
Thank you, too, for visiting me and leaving your kind words. ;o)
