The Lord God tests our faith if strong enough, <br />Before He starts answering our prayers; <br />He makes sure if our heart is pure with grace <br />Or if we are contrite and penitent! <br /> <br />The Lord ensures if prayers are fervent, <br />And if requests are justifiable, <br />And ultimately good for life and soul, <br />And in His divine plan and earthly role! <br /> <br />The Lord God sees if deserving, we are, <br />And that our intentions are good enough, <br />And if good deeds outweigh misdeeds and sin, <br />Before blessing our tasks and what we ask! <br /> <br />Let faith therefore accrue in power of God, <br />And our belief be staunch in what He does; <br />His love for us is unfathomable; <br />He is a just, kind, stern but jealous God! <br />Copyright by Dr John Celes 2-10-11<br /><br />Dr John Celes<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/god-tests-our-faith-often/
