Privilege of Prayer
Prayer is the opening
Of our hearts to our Maker.
As though to a friend,
One looks for an answer.
Prayer is our conversation
With our loving God above.
Requests or words of thankfulness
For His never-ending love.
God will answer every prayer
That’s in agreement with his will.
No request that we make
Comes to a standstill.
For our prayers are often answered
In other ways than we thought.
But we can be sure, they’re answered;
There’s no need to be distraught.
Prayer is a privilege
Of communion with our Father.
Because sin has alienated us
From God’s inner chamber.
Yet we still have the privilege
Of speaking to Him each day;
Believing that He listens;
Answers, in his own special way.
