Asking And Receiving
Prayer is asking God
and the answer is receiving
When we ask the Lord
expecting and believing
God can do any miracle
beyond our wildest dreams
even when the odds are against us,
or so it seems
Many things we could have if we asked
so our joy would be full
When we ask the Lord and receive,
rich blessings will flood our soul
Anything big or small God will give us
when we pray in Jesus name and seek
He's always there to hear our prayers
and help the burdened and weak
God can move any mountain
with his great power and might
and when things look bleak to us
he can make them turn out right
Nothing is too hard for God,
he can do anything anytime
When we are poor and needy,
is the time our faith will climb
John 16:24 Hitherto have ye asked nothing in my name: ask, and ye shall receive, that your joy may be full.
Ephesians 3:20 Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think . . .
God Answers Prayer
God answers our prayers
not because we pray so good
but because He is a great God
and answers like He said He would
It's not flowery words or phrasing
that gets His attention to hear
but a sincere heart that seeks Him
is when He draws near
God listens to all our groanings
and knows our every need
He hears the cry of the poor and needy
and with compassion will take heed
Matthew 6:7 But when ye pray, use not vain repetitions, as the heathen do: for they think that they shall be heard for their much speaking.
6:8 Be not ye therefore like unto them: for your father knoweth what things ye have need of, before ye ask him.
Crying To God
The best part about crying
is knowing that God hears
He comforts those who mourn
and dries away their tears
God is ever near the brokenhearted
and grief stricken
He will revive us
and with His spirit quicken
When we call on Him
he promised He would answer
as He hears our humble plea
with sweet consolation and reassure
He’ll lead us safely on
and show the way
to give grace through every trial
and keep us in His hand always
Isaiah 30:19 For the people shall dwell in Zion at Jerusalem: thou shall weep no more: he will be very gracious unto thee at the voice of thy cry; when he shall hear it, he will answer thee.
Prayers And Supplications
Prayer is asking God for blessings to bring
and supplication is begging for the same thing,
just to keep knocking at the door
until the answer comes and blessings outpour,
prayer that will not take no for an answer
knowing God is listening for sure,
that he cares when we beg and plead,
sees our heart cry and knows our need,
aware of our deepest longings and desires
and of hearing our petitions never tires,
even as Jacob wrestled with the angel all night,
refusing to give in or give up the fight
saying. "I will not let thee go except thou bless me,"
God answering him and from his heavy burden set free.
Psalm 116:1 I love the LORD because he hath heard my voice and my supplications.
