Does God Hear Your Prayers - Hebrews 4: 14-16

Prayer is the means God's given
that we can speak to God above
this God is eternal drawing on us
to fellowship with the God of love

Scripture tells us to make time
for God's ears are constantly on call
but the question is are we open
or do we think we just stall?

If we don't spend time in prayer
why don't we? don't we believe!
do we think it's just words in the air?
prayers hard work so roll up your sleeves

The bible is clear that God does hear
His answers may vary but He knows
it may be yes or maybe no or just wait
but our words heavenly certainly goes

Learn from Jesus our great high priest
who intercedes for us at His throne of grace
so we should pray to Him believing Him
that He grants mercy when we seek His face

(14 Since then we have a great high priest who has passed through the heavens, Jesus, the Son of God, let us hold fast our confession. 15 For we do not have a high priest who is unable to sympathize with our weaknesses, but one who in every respect has been tempted as we are, yet without sin. 16 Let us then with confidence draw near to the throne of grace, that we may receive mercy and find grace to help in time of need.)
Hebrews 4: 14-16 (ESV)

Excellent write on an important biblical passage. Rhyming adds difficulty to the composing stage. Yet you express well how important prayer is and why. Beautifully assembled poetry.

I do believe that prayer has so much power. God will surely pay heed to our prayers. If He doesn't sanction all that we wish , prayer will at least strengthen our shoulders, even if the weight still is on them. Thanks Gordon for your inspirational write !

We have so much to learn from Jesus, it would take a lifetime to come to own even a speck of His wisdom, but we try :)
