My Prayers

Sometimes God takes his time 

In answering my prayers 

And that is not always 

For me to understand .

God's memory is perfect .

He is able to remember

My prayers not for years 

But also for generations 

Beyond my  lifetime .

He never forgets them 

And may move in response 

Long after I first brought 

My request to Him .

Sometimes His answer is no

Other times I need to wait 

Some prayer will be answered .

But His request is always measured 

With love .

God's time is rarely our own 

But it is always worth waiting for .
