poem…

I know not by what methods rare;
But this I know, God answers prayer.
I know that He has given His word,
Which tells me that prayer is always heard
And will be answered soon or late;
And so I pray, and calmly wait;
I know not if the blessings sought
Will come in just the way I thought,
But leave my prayers with Him alone,
Whose will is wiser than my own,
Assured that He will grant my quest,
Or send some answer far more blest.

He answered prayer,
Not in the way I sought,
Not in the way I thought He ought,
But in His own good way, and I can see,
He answered in the fashion best for me.
