Prayers are Answered Still

Day by day she sits and waits
For a miracle she prays
Tears cascade and stain the page
Of the notebook she holds.

She touches his lifeless hand
Praying for the strength to stand
This life and fateful demand
And for what still unfolds.

Death threatens to leave a hole
Sobs shake her entire soul
She now has lost all control
She holds the urge to scream

She misses him so much
Misses his kiss and his touch
A glimpse of hope she does clutch
Not possible it will seem.

She kisses his troubled brow
Trying again to remember how
But it has escaped her now
The feeling in his arms.

Her tears fall upon his face
"Grant him, please Your healing grace
Meet us here in this lonely place,
Please silence these alarms."

"Nothing in life could prepare
The feeling of such despair.
God in Heaven, do you care?
I long for my best friend

"If you could grant me one more day
To tell all I have to say
Please God hear me as I pray
Give life to me again."

"End this heartache, end this pain
Send to us your healing rain
For my broken heart is slain
My faith is being tried."

"If your plan is here or there,
Please dear God hear my prayer
Grant an end to this despair
Oh God I will abide,

"Help this anger and this fear.
What is your plan for me here?
What to do is so unclear,
Please hold me to your side."

Still day by day she will wait
With just mustard grain of faith
For life to hand her its fate
Of what may be in store.

As she wipes her sorrow away
And she ends another day
Alone at night she'll stay
Just like the day before.

Then as night turns into day
God directs some light her way
Proof He hears her when she prays
A sparkle in his eyes!

Her lips once again are kissed
And words she has long since missed
In praise she does not resist
Thanks for prayer's replies!

Though the path may still be long
She has faith to remain strong
Her heart's resolved in love's song
As they continue up a hill.

She again kisses his brow
It is not so furrowed now
She thanks God for showing how
Prayers are answered still.



14 Now this is the confidence that we have in Him, that if we ask anything according to His will, He hears us. 15 And if we know that He hears us, whatever we ask, we know that we have the petitions that we have asked of Him.
1 John 5:14-15 (NKJV)
