Array ( [sid] => 8586 [catid] => 1 [aid] => Mick [title] => SO BE IT [time] => 2002-12-14 18:40:00 [hometext] => When we pray to god, our hopes, our fears, we do so without thinking twice about it, but when god speaks to us we rarely listen.
We usually end the prayer with "AMEN", aka SO BE IT.
[bodytext] => Breathe.
Breathe in the air again
as it's growing thin.

Holding...
on to what I believe without much proof.

Feeling...
Feeling accused, but not to blame.

Hoping...
that my search don't end in vein.

Standing on the edge of despair,
taking a leap- a leap of faith.

Stepping on the intangible,
looking down on empty space.

Reaching up to touch the sound,
that echoes in my brain.

Grasping for reality,
seeking a little restraint.

If you could only see the things I do for you, but you close your eyes.

If you could only hear me calling out to you, but you turn away.
You don't hear a word I say.

I live by a whisper,
and I wish that you would shout.

The proof is all around you,
but still you're filled with doubt. [comments] => 4 [counter] => 163 [topic] => 11 [informant] => JamesHamel [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 0 [ratings] => 0 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => ChristianPoetry )

SO BE IT

I genuinely know that your prayers are heard. They will be answered, but look for the answers everywhere! Through thought, sight sound and feelings.

Good poem by the way

This was a wonderful poem. It had a great point. And sometimes God doesn't give you an answer to your prayers because he knows what is best. But when he does answer your prayers you have to look deep within you to realize it. And you have to remember to listen, for when he guides you, he whispers....

Faith*Hope

I LOVED this poem!! Please let your heart sing again!

I really like this. I might not be christain, but I believe this is true for all faiths. This is a good write, on an even better topic. I love it.
