Ask Not, Have Not!

The Lord hears the prayers of His people,
Our request maybe different, but the value is equal;

The desires of His children are significant,
It reveals relationship, as an active or inactive, participant;

The Lord knows what’s needed before I even ask,
My petition demonstrates dependency to complete assigned tasks;

Blessings are unlimited, and His grace never stops,
Desires are at bay, so I have not, because I ask not;

Provisions are required to fulfill needs and wants,
Favor is attached to faith, while asking the Lord upfront;

Delighting in Him through His divine will,
Praying with expectations, while standing patient and still;

I will consider all that I have, and don’t have,
But, only through His will, I will ask;

Therefore, I rejoice because His answers are preset,
I am content whether the response is yes, no, or not yet.

Prayer: I deny myself by ignoring or rejecting my Provider who is able to bless me with more than I can ever ask or think. Forgive me Lord! The biggest issue with prayer is when there is no prayer. I have petitions that were never made. Certainly, in those moments I displayed doubt while lacking trust and faith. As I meditate on You, grant me hope in my matters. I ask this in the name of Your Son, The Lord Jesus Christ.
