Hello- so I’m new around here and started writing poetry just last year and I thought since I need to stay involved in SE now, I’d post some of my poetry. I’ve never had any serious poets look at my work before so critiques are SO welcome! I hope you enjoy it!

PRAYER:

Isn’t it amazing…
That when we come in prayer
God hears us when we call;
We can know that He is there?

Isn’t it outstanding…
That every time we plea
God gives us free forgiveness
Each time we bend a knee?

Isn’t it remarkable…
That each day we can find
Something to be thankful for
Inside a gracious mind?

Isn’t it worth praising…
That by simply asking
God will answer prayer
And rain a show’r of blessing?

Isn’t it just humbling…
That we can also know:
God is in control;
He has power to say no?

Isn’t it outstanding…
That in any place or time
We can come to Him in prayer-
Any one of them is fine?

Isn’t it so loving…
That even when we whisper
Jesus hears every call
From each brother or sister?

Isn’t it plain crazy…
That a God who knew no sin
Came down to earth to die
So that we’d be welcomed in?

Isn’t it outrageous…
That ’cause He loved us so
He came to die a horrid death
So we could pray to Him and know:

That it is so relieving…
He saved each one of us;
Just so we could know Him more-
See Him someday: victorious!

So, isn’t it just glorious…
That we can talk like friends
With the One who made the skies and seas,
Who loves us greatly to the end?

Now I lift up a prayer
To Jesus, Christ: my King.
I thank you that you hear me now-
You’re close to me when I’m praying.
