I Call

 


This is the confidence we have in approaching God: that if we ask anything according to his will, he hears us. ~1 John 5:14

I call

You hear

I fear

You answer

I worry

You calm

I ask

You solve

I pray

Without words

You respond 

With love

And grace

Words descend

To heart

Renewed

Thank you, Lord

Your will be done

Amen!
