Prayer Awaiting Amen 03252022

I
My own Shepherd, today I'm sheep indeed
Jesus, thank You for being there
Matthew 11:28 says Upon Me, cast your care
Ah yes, I'm still primary school, my faith a mustard seed

II
Lord, I thank you for Wendolene (since 2015, 
A widow. Raised 4 kids alone from age 38)
The older, you helped marry, now with children
But help us with the boys, O terrible teen age!

III
Lord, my prayer awaits a heartfelt amen
Spirit readily forgives, so long as Jesus we love
Norman Grubb, great missionary among men
Wrote: Spirit flows after ebb, but for "excuses," nope!

Hello Anil. Hi. This is lovely and most sincere that radiates to the reader. As a believer in love for one and all (smile) I very much liked your second stanza. The days are going by fast. I can't believe we are approaching April. Have a wonderful day and weekend. Remain safe so you can take care of yourself as you continue to take care of others around you. Namaste and Shalom Always. Love and Blessings always...

Lisa, Lisa, Lisa ... I see that smile that says, "I have love for all. But thank U LORD, I don't have teens at home!" I confess, it's easier to love some teens from a Safe distance, LOL!

For sure; always be grateful, for it is by God's grace that we have and achieve anything of value. Most of all, be grateful for each loving other, finding our source of strength in Jesus Christ alone. Teens! Don't remind me.... Blessing to you and yours my friend!
