Three Questions



You say that God won't answer all
The prayers that you send
To Him which causes hope to fall
When time with Him you spend.

That's why I have three questions for
Your mind to think upon.
You need to think of them before
The current day is gone!

Did you pray with much faith because
Without faith why would God
Help those who often stop to pause
To think such things are odd.

Did you pray for some selfish things,
The stuff that no one needs?
All Christians should take what God brings
To them and where He leads!

And did you pray that God would hurt
Someone who did you wrong,
Since it causes Him to avert
Thoughts to forgiving songs!
