Prayer

I pray because the need flows from me constantly- awake, asleep.  It does not change God, it changes me!

C.S. Lewis

I know not by what methods rare, but this I know, God answers prayer!

I know that He has given us His word that tells me prayer is always heard,

And will be answered soon or late, and so I pray and calmly wait.

I know not if the blessing sought will come just in the way I thought,

But leave my prayers with Him alone, whose ways are wiser than my own-

Assured that He will grant my quest, or send some answer far more blessed.
