He Heard My Plea

(6/29/12) The rains were coming down as heavy as can be Lightning was covering the black skies As far as I could see. The rolling thunder deafening to my ears As my heart filled with fear. No place to run to - no place to hide As I fell to my knees and started to cry. I prayed to GOD to protect me Cause I just wanted to get back to my family. The thunder seemed to subside, as I opened up my eyes Through the darkness of the clouds A light came shining through And like a spotlight it shone down on me Then I knew the LORD heard my plea. The rains were still coming down Yet not a drop on me was found. I felt a calmness come over me As if I had been set free. I rushed straight home and there my family stood Just like I knew that they would. They always feared when they heard the rolling thunder, and saw the lightning in the sky And they would pray, just like I. I hugged them and again I thanked the LORD For giving me this opportunity - to be with my family. If he heard my plea when I prayed Why can’t you do the same?
