answered and unanswered prayers

you were there yesterday as i sat

at the edge of my wit and desperately cried
and today my those needs are met
with my faith in you multiplied!

again i am in your presence

knowing too well that i cannot put you
or, your providence to test but i’ve the awful
memory of all unanswered prayers!

teach me the art to live and feel your presence

though unseen, absent and place my confidence
in your providence to receive my daily bread
and more that i may cease to fret and frown!
