For all you out there that are filled w/ stress...who feel burnt out and exhausted. This poem is for you.....
*******************************************
When we are deeply disturbed with a problem And our mind is filled with doubt And we struggle to find a solution But there seems to be no way out, We futilely keep on trying To untangle our web of distress - But our own little, puny efforts Meet with very little success...
And finally exhausted and weary, Discouraged and downcast and low, With no foreseeable answer And with no other place to go, We kneel down in sheer desperation And slowly and stumblingly pray Then impatiently wait for an answer Which we fully expect right away...
And then, when God does not answer, In one, sudden instant we say, "God does not seem to be listening, So why should we bother to pray"... But God can't get through to "the anxious" Who are much too impatient to wait - You have to believe in God's promise That He comes not too soon or too late.
For, whether God answers promptly Or delays in answering your prayer, you must have faith to believe Him And to know in your heart He'll be there... So be not impatient or hasty, Just trust in the Lord and believe, For whatever you ask in faith and love In abundance you are sure to receive.
