The
Unanswered Prayer
Unknown
Author
She
asked to be made like her savior;
He took her right then at her word,
And sent her a heart-crushing burden
Till the depths of her soul were stirred.
She
wanted a meek, lowly spirit-
The word He gave answered that cry,
Till some who had once been companions,
With a pitying smile passed her by.
She
asked to lean hard on her Saviour,
He took human props quite away,
Till no earthly friend could give comfort,
And she could do nothing but pray.
She had
prayed to be made like the Saviour
And the burdens He gave her to bear
Had been but the great Sculptor's teaching
To help answer her earnest prayer.
Bible
Verse:
Isiah
55: 1-4
Come,
all you who are thrirsty,
come to the waters; and you who
have no money. Come, buy and eat!
Come, buy wine and milk without
money and without cost.
Why spend money on what is not
bread, and your labor on what
does not satisfy?
Listen, listen to me, and eat what
is good, and your soul will delight
in the richest of God.
Give ear and come to me; hear me,
that your soul may live. I will make
an everlasting covenant with you.
My faithful love promised to David!

When you feel
terrific, notify your face.
