For What I Pray Every night when I go to bed I get on my knees and bow my head I ask our Father up above To fill my life with his love I ask forgiveness of my sins And never let me stray again I pray he watch over those in my heart And never let us drift apart I trust my life is in his hands I just wish I knew his plans There’s just one thing I wish he’d concede It would cause this pain in me to leave So until it comes true I will continue to pray And ask for this wish each and everyday |

Dearest Oz. A word about your prayer. When you say: "There’s just one thing I wish he’d concede It would cause this pain in me to leave So until it comes true I will continue to pray And ask for this wish each and everyday" God never concedes anything! He Loves and is the same yesterday, today and forever and He does His Holy Will through His Grace and Mercy. And He does heal us when we have the faith to believe and receive healing. Pain always has a reason. Why do we have pain? Pain is an indication that something is not right. Like the gas gauge on your car. To pray for the gas gauge to show full, would not help if you were out of gas, now would it? What is wrong and how can it fixed? Or is there simply some needed change in our lives. Like the pain a little child receives when touching a light bulb? Most of us have physical pain because of illness. Sometimes we treat it medically. And sometimes we go to God for healing. To receive healing from God requires faith and a willingness to accept God's will, regardless of the price. I have been completel healed several times of near death situations. A failed heart surgery, (I grew a new collateral artery around a major blockage, restoring blood to half of my heart) and recoved very quickly from respitory edema minutes away from respiratory arrest, to cite two. Both surprised the doctors, and one said to me you don't need me you've got God! And now God has called me to write poetry for him, His Way. That is my full time calling and it consumes me! I am called to go directly to God, not accepting any religious doctrine or dogma, but to be careful not to dispute any faith. As I am led to beleive that God works through all man-made religions in different ways. In spite of men. And Salvation is in each individual heart, not in religion. When on earth, Christ healed the sick. He gave us a comforter, The Holy Ghost with gifts of the Spirit. And when Christ is in us he give us God's power with the gift of healing, to heal the sick. When you are willing to release everything to God, and accept whatever His Will is for you, He will heal you. Then your pain will leave. Just a thought to pray about. -Silver Streak |

It is hard I know to think that God is not answering our prayers. We just have to have the faith to keep praying and wait for God's answer. Joyce |

My dear OZ this is a very heartfelt poem. I do see pain and suffering. When I need His healing or guidance, I pray as if I have already recieved it. I am one that never asks.Because He is God. He rules my life, and so He must know what is going on in my life. So I pray,"Thank you Lord for removing this pain from me, I leave it all with you now,and walk away confident that you will lift my burden" And he does..It is that simple. Of course being human, that part always goes back to the pain, like with my grief on losing my son, But I tell you, I don't stay there long, My mind moves on to Him and again I am healed. So it is not a one time healing but a continued one. God bless you my friend, You will be in my prayers. Floria |

Oz, your poem is touching and heartfelt. I'm sure it moves God's heart. The apostle Paul prayed for release from his pain or (thorn in the side) but God did not remove it. Paul said that God's grace was sufficient to endure the pain. Maybe God is doing the same thing in your life. I do not believe you're in pain because you lack faith but God must have a purpose for it and I hope if He doesn't remove your pain, He will reveal its purpose in your life. God bless. Cheryl |
