Ask and You Will Receive
by Jennifer Molloy John 16:24″ Until now you have asked nothing in my name. Ask and you will receive, that your joy may be full." You said to ask and receive Lord you have always given before I even made the plea Though my body was plagued by chronic disease My spirit never wained though my body was fatigued The aches and the pain would make me cry But the words of my savior made me feel I could fly So armed with your courage I live life head on How shocked I was when people said I don't belong It seemed to annoy them that I would work so hard With my conditions to prosper a dream that seemed so far You'll never make it they said and they pulled away when I tried They were sure that I'd fail and their lack of faith made me cry So Lord now I'm depending on you for my strength alone I count on your friendship being so far from my home I put trust that you'll help me where others have failed to provide for us and the animals and all that entails so we can use this farm that you gave us to be a light now to others so we can show them your love, and help our fellow sisters and brothers Let this farm now be a haven to all that have grown weary Bring us the weak and the sick, the downcast and those that are leery that have given up on this world and feel there is no hope at all so I can introduce them to the Lord and help them hear his call and our hands will be his tool to show them a love that will not end while they enjoy the beauty of this farm and the animals they befriend let them see past the comfy trappings of life that we lack and see the joy of our spirits as we work to the max Lord bring unto me the people whom you choose And I will try my best to be a light unto you thank you for hearing this prayer that I send now in faith and I will wait for your answer as I live supported by your grace Contact me at [email protected] I am a freelance writer and poet that writes poetry and commentary on my christian life.
