Be it a whisper or a shout
God hears each and every prayer...
The very moment it is uttered
All hosts of Heaven are aware
That there is a need on earth.
Angels wait for God's command.
But, as in the case of Daniel,
Sometimes battles must be planned.
God knows the end from the beginning
Nothing takes Him by surprise!
For before the earth's foundation
Each scene has passed before His eyes.
So be assured that every answer
Has already been assigned.
The key word is always patience
For God works outside of time.
The Bible states a thousand years
Is like a day in His direction...
O, do you see Him as He is??
Is yours an omnipotence conception?
At times the answers may not be
The very way that we expected...
But, because He knows what's best for us,
We are spiritually protected.
Remember Jesus Christ was human
Even though He was God's Son.
He prayed ,"let this cup be taken from me"
But ended with "Thy will be done."
Prayer must always be within God's will
We cannot pray amiss...
Yet faith and trust will bring us to
A place of pure and peaceful bliss.
Don't think that constant repetition
Is the way to get prayer heard ...
For God can listen to your heart
Without you uttering one word.
Yes, there are hindrances to prayer...
Take this into consideration...
That known sin and unforgiveness
Can be viewed as a violation.
If we are praying without ceasing...
This is the way to get it done...
Our hearts and minds must be in tune
And in agreement with the Son.
The Father really wants to bless us
We can trust His love and care...
And be sure that He is pleased with us
When we are positive in prayer.

Daniel 10:12-13
Then he said to me, "Do not be afraid, Daniel,
for from the first day that you set your heart on understanding
this and on humbling yourself before your God, your words were heard,
and I have come in response to your words. "But the prince of
the kingdom of Persia was withstanding me for twenty-one days; then behold,
Michael, one of the chief princes, came to help me, for I had been left
there with the kings of Persia.
1 John 5:14-15
And this is the confidence that we have in him, that, if we ask
any thing according to his will, he heareth us:
And if we know that he hear us, whatsoever we ask, we know
that we have the petitions that we desired of him.
2 Peter 3:8
But, beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing, that one day
is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day.
Hebrews 10:36
For ye have need of patience, that, after ye have done the will
of God, ye might receive the promise.
