WAITING FOR ANSWERS

–

Waiting for answers to prayer,

Specifics of which we’re aware…

Waiting a week

Is tough as we speak,

The cupboard is nearly bare.

–

Over-drawn checks we paid

For with thirty dollars each, I’m afraid…

Payments came due

And we’re broke through,

From the Deacon’s Fund requested aid.

–

The previous pastor had a slush fund,

Which now must be moribund…

New system in place:

A week to face

Aa yes or no under the gun!

–

At our church they’ve rarely said no,

Waiting a week to find out troubles so…

Church friends say don’t worry,

I just know we’re buried–

Without gasoline to work I can’t go.

–

My wife always has claimed faith,

Two week’s tithe paid last week and we’re not safe…

Money management (my greed)

It may not succeed,

We still can’t agree on some things.

–

Oh how the Deceiver thrives

Putting doubt in our lives…

Making us deal

With our faithless side for real,

Not trusting in God for our lives.

–

“Help Thou my unbelief.”**(Mark 9:24)

Help us to await Thy relief…

We praise Thee now

For all Thou dost show,

Of provision for Thy servants we beseech!
