Repeated Prayer

My Father God, come hear my plea

take heed to what You hear and see,

I have no new request to bring

but merely the same repeated thing

that I have brought to You before,

but I need to bring it here once more.

I know that You have heard my prayer,

so in a sense it seems unfair

that I should harp upon it still,

if I already know Your will,

but Lord, my heart still aches with pain

and that is why I’m here again.

I know You do not mind my being here,

that You hold my every heartbeat dear,

and I find such comfort in Your care;

Your presence gives me strength to bear

the time between answer and request

while I wait for Your very best.
