Impulsive Impetuous Impatient Imperfect by Kathleen Higham How often do we pray? With a question about the why When faith is shakey at best Then we moan, groan, and sigh. Whatever the trouble befalling It was insidiously there So boldly we confront it Impulsively take on the dare. How often do we pray? With an arrogance undenied The prayer becomes a demand Impetuous thoughts bring pride. I can surely attest to this When to my God I say Answer my prayer immediately Impatient, I want it today. How often do we pray? In the quiet of the night A tear drying on a cheek Imperfect, but in His sight. There is a time to surrender Then a peace you will find As thoughts that betray you Will leave your burdened mind. How often do we pray? Expectng His answer to come now Impulsive, impetuous, impatient, but His Word is perfect somehow. How often do we pray? And is it in His will? Imperfect, but it matters not Because God will love us still. |
