Notes About The Poem

Trust Him

We pray, sometimes, for our own wants
Or the things we need to live
Not thinking of God’s will at all
Or what He wants us to hear

We pray, some days, for blessings
Or treasures found on earth
Not considering God’s purpose
In all that we think, do or say

We pray, during moments of worry
For our anxiety to go away
Never reflecting on God’s reasons
For not giving us serenity this day

We pray, many times for answers
That will give us what we desire
Not contemplating God’s nature
Which is true to the one who trusts

We pray, without truly realizing
Our aspirations aren’t all to remember
God works everything together for good
To those who love Him as they should

We pray, thinking He might fulfill a wish
Never imagining that He knows best
And whatever He answers, have faith
Know that He responds with true grace

We pray, but do we trust Him to give us
His best, the blessings that come when
We have been saved, forgiven, washed 
In the blood of the One who died for us

Sweet Jesus





Romans 8:28 King James Version (KJV) - And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.

Panagiota Romios October 4, 2019 at 5:05 PM Really too beautiful. I find myself speechless! The Creator knows our needs. I know He is not Santa Claus as I once thought. He is the man in charge of all people and the universe. Panagiota. Xxx Regina Mcintosh October 4, 2019 at 9:34 PM Yes, He knows our needs. You bless me so much. I love you and pray for you, Panagiota…. Blessings, Gina

Carolyn Devonshire October 4, 2019 at 1:33 PM In school a nun once told us that God receives many prayers of petition, asking for favors. She said it's prayers of thanks and worship that God doesn't hear often enough. I often pray for answers, but as you say, God provides us with the help we need. You've written a beautiful poem, Regina. I adore spiritual poetry. Hugs, Carolyn Regina Mcintosh October 4, 2019 at 9:33 PM Yes. I believe prayers of worship are a highlight for the Lord and I do my best to always praise Him. Your words are a blessing. Thank you so much and God bless you, Gina

Judy Ball October 4, 2019 at 10:57 AM Excellent Regina. Everything here is so very true. We should pray the way Jesus did, "Not my will but thine be done."
