So Many Prayers

So many prayers in my heart today
So many things I want to say
So many friends who are so weary
That I would love to encourage
And tell them not to worry
But to keep looking up toward Heaven
And pray for every concern and need
For we know not how many others
God will nudge to intercede.
Sometimes we think God does not answer
Or does not hear our plea
But His answer is always on time and perfect
For He knows what is yet to be.
Sometimes we get a yes
But other times the answer is no
For God above, our God of Love
Knows what we do not know.
We can count on His Love for us
For His Word tells us so.
