When it seems God is not answering prayers40 total reviews

Debbie, that is honest and trusting and you are a good soul! And a better believer than I. When I have told my daughter, for instance, that I have prayed to God to please help this country, that there are many good, Christians doing their best, working hard, who love this country, she says that America has, as a country denied God. I just don't believe that. But maybe God does.
I think, your poem probably addresses more your personal problems, however, and I hope you will hear something good from Him.
Your poem is a plea, and a lovely one.

Hello my sweet friend. I am so glad you came to see me. And you came bearing gifts too I see. LOL.. Thank you for that lovely six star gift.
Yeah, you have been gone so I will have to email you and we will talk then.
Thanks for this lovely review and comments for my God poem.
I do agree with your daughter's comments to a certain extent as so many have forgotten about God's laws and especially the democrats. How sad.
Yes, our governor is one of the worst.
Thanks again for the kind comments and the lovely stars, my awesome friend. Hugs!! Love, Debi
Comment from Bill Schott
This poem, In His Good Time, presented with four ABAB-rhymed quatrains, brings the readers to the understanding that God has a need scale and a timepiece which coordinate with needs and times as seen from a place different than ours.

Thanks so much Bill for such a kind review for my poem. I am hopeful that I don't soon have another one of those spells where you just can't find God.
Good thing we know that He is always there.
Thanks again, my dear friend for an awesome review. Love, Debi

If we all just keep worrying about what it takes to do His will, and all the other things in life will take care of themselves. Thanks for sharing another fine post.

Ric, now that is a mouthful of truth if I ever heard one. My problem was it was one of those times where I guess my faith didn't feel strong enough. I just couldn't get there from the place I was in.
Have you ever had that happen? It is a little scary and with the help of friends I found my bright side. And I know God was with me after all.
Thanks, my dear friend for always such kind and comforting words.
You made my day by what you said, so thanks again. Love, Debi

So this is like a daily affirmation. It does seem to me that He is very vague with his answers and sometimes completely MIA. I know this isn't true, but the appearance of is remarkable. Love the flower.

Yes, I agree about sometimes how it feels that way, but most of the time I forget how great He is to me and at times I forget to say thanks. I guess it goes both ways. Thanks for the kind comments, my friend. I appreciate it very much. Debi

Nothing wrong with this statement, slightly confused about one line intent. Unanswered prayers with no reveal. Outside of that, completely solid in its conveyance. At least in my given viewpoint, prevailing this read.

Hahaha, it kind of confused me too. Do you ever make a statement and wonder about it for a while until you just aren't sure? So I put it in there because it kinda made sense and kinda did not but of course it rhymed. But I thought, ok, I will leave it there until someone says something. Would you believe you are the first person who finally mentioned it. I feel like I should give you an award or something. Haha!
I know, have you been back only for a short while? I know I haven't seen you for a while. So if you would like, I'd be proud to do a biographical or birthday poem for you in ten days.
Most of the guys are loving theirs. It is up to you.. But let me know what you decide and if you are wondering what they are, you wouldn't have to go very far in my portfolio to see many that belong to men. I am sure you know all of the guys too.
Thanks for the kind comments too and welcome back. Love, Debi

Good reading flow and abab rhyme scheme to your quatrains.
"Unanswered prayers with no reveal" I feel this way a lot of times--*sigh*
"I'll show more trust in His Sweet Grace" No pun intended, but I pray for grace to trust in this sweet grace.
God's time and way is the best, I'm often told.

Hi Debi,
how relatable!
Your poem tugs at the old way of my thinking to the 'why's'... but with patients, an open heart and mind One can always see through the darkness. For as Leonard Cohen coined...
"There is a crack in everything.
That's how the light gets in."
How many questions have we asks to ourselves, thrown to the God's light in hope of answers and salvation? I know both of us would answer..."too many to recount." Yet we are still here, listening and learning from all experiences growing wiser through them. That's how we got to the here and now... that's what's develops us into the people we are today, and to the people we will still metamorphosis into.
Of course, we still have a ways to go and many things we will just release to our Creator... as I do, I surrender me to thee, I know I must stop looking, that I may see.
I believe the understanding is in the interpretation of what we garnish from each and every experience, whether that be good, bad, or ugly. There is always a positive spin that will allow the bright side of us to return... I'd say stronger with an added coat of armour, always!
Beautiful poem of substance, composition and presentation Debi.
With our thoughts we create...
guidance to our light.
Warmest regards,
James.

James, you are an honest to God, one of my best friends in the whole world. I love when you give your wise insight about things and are so encouraging at the same time.
I wrote this at a time when I felt lost and it is not too many times that I will say that I can't find God. Just when I feel things get so rough and don't see things changing. I believe God's answer to me was more clear than I thought as He probably needed me to rely on him more than only friends. I just wasn't seeing so clear for a few days.
Thanks for all your kind words. I especially like about the crack is how we see the light. And yes, at first my bright side wasn't showing because I couldn't see straight to see them in action.
Thanks for everything and for honoring me with you shiny six stars.
And I do love your positive spin on things, as that is usually what I try to do, but this time I am happy I relied on God and friends. Thanks so much.
Love and hugs, Debi

Sometimes we do express or feel exactly how your poem relates. I keep telling myself I am not alone, and He's walking with me daily. Life is never a bowl of cherries but keep being you. It's the politics that are nasty and that's difficult to understand.

Oh Rosemary, it is so good to see you. I know you have had it rough and I hope you are doing a little better. I agree about the politics.
You are so very kind and I appreciate your lovely words. Thank you so very much, my dear friend. Love, Debi
Thank you so much too for your generous six stars.

This is a beautiful piece that reminds us that God will act in our behalf - when it's the right time. Meanwhile, we learn patience, trust and respect for his wisdom. Lovely sentiments.
