Answered Prayer by James O'Brien

I’ve lingered in the scriptures
And caressed the words I’ve read.
I’ve pondered in the meanings,
And the thoughts within my head.

I’ve searched for many answers
On the pages that I’ve turned,
And I’ll share with you the things I found,
Some things that I have learned.

Noah had to deal with floods
And start his life anew,
And Moses had to part the sea
To save his people through.

Remember Job with boils and sores
Who lost all that he had;
His flocks, his home, his family
And folks said he was bad.

But in each case the challenges
Were met with faith and prayer,
And Father helped them in their days
Providing love and care.

And so I’ve learned that as I live
Some challenges I’ll see,
And If I’m true and faithful,
Father’s love will comfort me.

I’ve also found the sweetest fruit
And this, I’d love to share,
Its love and testimony
With the spirit’s answered prayer.
