Poem: Prayer

[Kenzie Pimpo]

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.

@banana-peacock-warrior That is lovely! I especially like this stanza:

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

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?

Wow!! You write such amazing poetry! I love it! 🙂 🙂

How many poems have you written?

Sold souls and dead promises

@emberynus-the-dragonslayer: Thanks so much!

In my poetry notebook, (only counting those I feel are really any good, that I started writing after I discovered I wanted to take it seriously) I have exactly 46 poems. The number grows by maybe 1 or 2 every 2ish weeks.

Though- I need plenty of practice and maybe a quarter of them will probably never make it onto  SE because they’re about personal topics like crushes/frustrations/trials. Poetry is kinda like the way I like to pray so there are a lot of them.

Yeah, that’s super cool. Sounds like me with stories!
